<p>I found a university that says it is in the top tier for research universities. Is it thus a good university for engineering?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I am sure that a lot of universities say they are a top tier university. The short answer to your question is “maybe”</p>
<p>Good research universities can house some professors that would much rather spend their time on their research than teaching undergraduates.</p>
