Berkeley Engineering

<p>I got into USC & Berkeley and was wondering where I'd get better instruction in Mechanical Engineering. I know both undergraduate schools are relatively lesser ranked than their graduate schools.</p>

<p>I am looking for a college in which professors are accessible, and classes are small to an extent. </p>

<p>I like USC's environment better, but was wondering whether the education at Berkeley is a whole lot better than that of USC.</p>

<p>And lastly, starting salary is important =D</p>

<p>well berkeley's number 2 (not sure what usc is): <a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/enps10_brief.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/enps10_brief.php&lt;/a>
the lower div classes are generally pretty large at berkeley for mechE, but the profs are definitely accessible. can't really comment on usc</p>
