Best College for ME for Aerospace?

<p>Ok, so I'm a smart kid. Smart enough to google "top aerospace engineering programs" and look at a list of the top 20. Please don't just give me the list.</p>

<p>I currently live in Georgia (about 30 mins for Georgia Tech). My dream is to work for NASA. I have a 4.0 (all A's). And I have a passion for engineering and for space. So I was wondering, what kind of school and education would it take to work there? Georgia Tech is very tempting considering the low cost for me to go there (Probably about 10k a year after all is said and done).</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Maybe you could find some sort of NASA public web page and see what their current employees’ alma maters were? For all I know, NASA people start as military (But I DON’T know).</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>You can’t got wrong with GT. Highly ranked, great city life and a great price for GA residents.</p>

<p>If you want to attend college close up close and personal to NASA and don’t care about college prestige, consider University of Alabama-Huntsville. With such close proximity to a NASA station, internships or other perks could be a possibility.

<p>I think you should go with Georgia Tech. Its one of the best for aerospace. Also, look at colleges MIT, Standford, Cornell etc but they are much more expensive.</p>

<p>Look at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.</p>

<p>From what I have heard the students at UAH do get opportunities to co-op or intern at MSFC. That might be a good option. GT is a well respected school and one of the top schools that employers (government and private) recruit from. If you do well at either of these schools you should have plenty of opportunities. Make the most of wherever you choose to go.</p>
