<p>i thought undergrad rankings come out in august?</p>

6

<p>guys i am student of LaGuardia community college and I am almost at the end of my 2 years degree. i want to study EE and I have accepted into City college Of NY, Stony Brook University SUNY and Polytechnic University of Brooklyn. Which one do you guys think will be better for undergrad EE. I am so confused</p>

7

<p>Isn’t there already a pinned topic for this or am I missing something here?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There wasn’t one when this thread was started over a year ago…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Probably best to start a new thread rather than reply to an old one.</p>

<p>From the rankings, it would seem that Stony Brook and Polytechnic are about on par with one another (it’s good that they’re ranked), and that CUNY’s not on the list. It seems they offer a Bachelor of Engineering degree, which I’m not really familiar with… I’d look closely at Stony Brook and Polytechnic, unless CUNY seems like a particularly great place to be for you, and then look at finances and see which one will put you least into debt. Someone else might have something else informative to add that’s more specific to the three programs.</p>

<p>But yeah, start a new thread next time…</p>

<p>lol. seriously, what’s up with all the people asking about college decision tacked onto other threads. especially this one’s from a year ago. i didn’t notice it until aibarr posted. lol</p>
