UCLA or Imperial College London?

<p>

Imperial>>UCLA…Imperial is a top 5 British university while UCLA is a fringe top 25 university in the United States.

</p>

<p>Right. I wonder which university you’d recommend if the schools were between Dartmouth and Duke.</p>

<p>One is an ivy, the other is some southern school :rolleyes:</p>

<p>UCLA’s been in the 25-26 range for years. I’m not sure how that makes it ‘fringe.’</p>

<p>

^I don’t think anyone asked about Duke?

</p>

<p>it’s an inside joke.</p>

<p>

If you want a well-rounded college experience where you grow as a person, make lifelong friends, and have some fun while you’re at it, choose UCLA. However, if you want to learn, choose Imperial.

</p>

<p>Yes i was faced with a similar decision a few years ago. Choosing not to learn at UCLA was one of the best decisions of my life :rolleyes:</p>

<p>

From what I know, I would go with Imperial. It is apparently the premier STEM school in the UK, their equivalent of MIT or Caltech.

</p>

<p>That seems a bit strong no? Imperial is at least a notch below M and C in quality. Or did you mean in terms of being their super-prestigious technical school, like IIT is in India?</p>
