<p>Hmm pesky, i’m kinda in the same position as you were in, having to decide between Carnegie and Northwestern, with the exception that you may have been alot more certain than I am regarding which school to pick. </p>
<p>Which brings me to my point: my uncertainty primarily stems from my concern about internships opportunities for engineering students at McCormick. There seems to be little question about such issues at Carnegie though. Having an internationally recognized tech (engineering and computer science) departments, internship offers for Carnegie students flood in from all over the country (P&G, Bayer, ExxonMobil, Intel, Caterpillar etc). So even though Pittsburgh may not outclass Chicago in this department, it is hardly an issue. Maybe you could shed some light on this matter. </p>
<p>Also, another concern I have about NU is the quality of research taking place there. It just seems that NU is not highly regarding within tech circles, and i fear this may be a consequence of the research taking place on campus.</p>
