Berkeley/umich/northwestern for ind engineering/or

<p>Dear all</p>

<p>I have received offers from these 3 universities for engineering majors. I'm really interested in Industrial Engineering/Operations Reseach. I come from a place where rankings are important but what i want is a holistic education. Can someone pls offer me some advice on which is the best place to go? </p>

<p>Well, ranking wise i guess they're largely the same? could the deciding factor be where the uni is located itself and thus the opportunities available? some help pls!</p>

<p>MUCH APPRECIATED! :)</p>

<p>keep in mind the price.</p>

<p>If you have the chance, I would recommend going to each school. I originally did not really like Berkeley from what I’ve heard, but after visiting I loved it, as well as UCLA.</p>

<p>Personally I think if you really like the two schools, then you can use rankings to choose, but its most important you like the atmosphere and the location. You are going to be living there for four years!</p>

<p>pricing shouldnt be an issue. all schools offer about the same financial package (which isnt alot in the first place) but i guess i can work things out. i yearn for a chance to visit all 3 schools but my finances (and time) don’t seem to allow that. at best, i can only source for as many views & experiences now.</p>

<p>cheers! :)</p>
