<p>Exactly, let people decide for themselves what’s best for them. I guarantee you that practically no one will choose Yale for engineering. If they want a small focused program, they can get it at Caltech or one of the small engineering-focused colleges. If they want plenty of research opportunities and a plethora of resources, MIT, Berkeley, and Stanford are the way to go. And if, like you said, they want a great liberal arts education in addition to strong engineering programs, Princeton is awesome at that. No matter which way you look at it, Yale loses out. Sorry.</p>
