<p>I’ve narrowed myself down to a list to 3 universities I’m applying to in the US that fit my needs as I will be pursuing a degree on a budget.</p>
<p>I’ve got Penn State, Virginia Tech and Purdue I will be applying to for Fall 2010.</p>
<p>Are there any other recommendations for universities in that price range? Bear in mind I am an international student and can’t stretch a lot further. I have applied to UofT, McGill and Waterloo in Canada</p>
<p>Clemson, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Minnesota.</p>
<p>I’m guessing you’re going engineering?</p>
<p>Try Case Western (good aid), Cooper Union, Olin, Rose-Hulman, and Kettering U.</p>
<p>I am applying for engineering, materials specifically.</p>
<p>I’d just like to know if the universities I’ve picked are good for the course I’m pursuing, or whether there are better universities for the price?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I’m going on the Ceramics & Materials Engineering department tour at Clemson today so I’ll let you know if there’s anything worthwhile knowing about it</p>
<p>Public Universities on the US News Top 10 list for materials are
University of Illinois
Cal/Berkeley
Michigan
Georgia Tech
Penn State
Florida</p>
<p>Also good are Ohio State and NC State</p>
<p>I think some of the above recommendations might be too pricey for Int’l students on a budget. And, since cost is a factor for you…</p>
<p>BTW…what is your budget for annual school costs???</p>
<p>These schools have strong engineering programs and are very reasonable for Int’l students…</p>

<p>UAH - Great engineering program and cheap price </p>
<p>University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) campus sits next to Cummings Research Park (CRP). Many engineering students get internships at top high-tech companies which pay for their education. </p>
<p>Cummings Research Park ( [Cummings</a> Research Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummings_Research_Park]Cummings”>Cummings Research Park - Wikipedia) ) is the second largest research park in the USA…It’s located in Madison County and has many, many high-tech companies. Because of CRP, Madison County has the highest density of PhDs in the nation.</p>
<p>[UAHuntsville</a> | The University of Alabama in Huntsville](<a href=“http://www.uah.edu/]UAHuntsville”>http://www.uah.edu/) </p>
<p>UAH is inexpensive for OOS and international students. Int’l students are charged the same rate as OOS students - about $17,000 a year for tuition (assuming the student takes 16-17 credits each semester - typical of engineering students)</p>
<p>An OOS or International student could easily go to UAH for a total cost of about $27,000 per year (tuition, room, board, books, etc). That is quite low.</p>

<p>UAH is a growing university. The state has invested a lot of money on the campus, hence the new buildings, new science/engineering labs, new residence halls, new rec center, etc. </p>
<p>Because of its close proximity to Cummings Research Park, it is strong in all high-tech, engineering, science, pre-health, and business majors.</p>
