<p>haha MIT and IIT are great public schools LOL</p>
<p>My bad…I am now.</p>
<p>The company my dad used to work for really liked grads from UIUC, MIT, and Harvey Mudd. I’m sure they hired a bunch of people from other top engineering schools too, but he mentions these three schools A LOT.</p>
<p>well, I don’t plan on staying in the US… but I’m looking for an excellent university (among the top 15) with moderate requirements…</p>
<p>“I’m looking for an excellent university (among the top 15)…”</p>
<p>Would that be top 15 in Engineering or top 15 overall?</p>
<p>“…with moderate requirements…”</p>
<p>Moderate admissions requirements (easy to get into) or moderate graduation requirements (eacy to get out of!)</p>
<p>Well, I’m looking for a university that is really strong academically (top 15) and has a good international reputation with moderate admission requirement …</p>
<p>structural engineering = UC Berkeley</p>
<p>other great alternatives:
MIT
Stanford
Michigan
UIUC
Georgia Tech
Cornell
Texas-Austin</p>
<p>Saifooo, top 15 universities will not have “moderate” admissions requirements. The least selective of the top 15 universities is quite possibly Michigan, which admits fewer than 40% of non-residents with average unweighed GPAs in the 3.9 range and average SAT/ACT in the 1400/30 range (for non-residents). </p>
<p>But if by “moderate” you mean not as difficult as Harvard or MIT, schools I would recommend are:</p>
<p>Cornell University
Georgia Institute of Technology
Northwestern University
Rice University
University of California-Berkeley
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Texas-Austin
University of wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>Those 9 universities share four things in common:</p>
<ol>
<li>Excellent international reputations</li>
<li>Decent-awesome campus environments</li>
<li>Top notch academics (in terms of academic reputation, 5 of those 9 universities are considered top 15-20 universities and the remaining 4 are considered top 25 or top 40 universities)</li>
<li>Top 20 Engineering departments</li>
</ol>
<p>You may want to add MIT, Princeton and Stanford to your list, but those three schools do not have “moderate” admissions requirements.</p>
<p>
I don’t know any engineering students study so hard … and if they do, they can’t be much fun. That’s not the way you wanna spend your 4 years in college. You have plenty of opportunity to do that after you start working.</p>
<p>Engineers are probably the least rewarded group of individuals given their technical skills, workload, and background.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol, LOLOLOL…</p>
<p>4 years flies by really quick dude. You better not be spending 200K and expect to dwell in idleness and not push the envelope of what you think is both mentally and physically possible… I’m not sure about you, but I work my ass off in college…It is worth it. I would rather test my abilities now in a challenging environment than get screwed over in the real world where there are no safety nets available to catch you when you get a C or D on an urgent “assignment”</p>
<p>Hey,
I have read several reviews on civil engineering programs in the U.S. writen over the last three years; the average one says: worlds #1 is a tie between University of California Berkeley and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign////// But , for undergraduate only: California State Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo and Marvey Mudd College. The U.S. is home to the best Civil Engineering Programs in the world; and California has most of them. I hope this is helpfull.</p>

<p>While I’m sure R-H is a fine school there are dozens just as good in CE that will also provide an interesting and fun life outside of class. Like females.</p>
<p>well for a fun social life, I would go to a state school such as Illinois, Michigan, Purdue (not Georgia Tech with the 80/20 male-female ratio lol)</p>
<p>^ At least Georgia Tech is in Atlanta (albeit near a somewhat rough neighborhood). Rose-Hulman is in a tiny town in the midst of Indiana’s farmland.</p>
<p>Ga Tech do not have 80/20 ratio. It is close to 70/30. The incoming freshmen has 67/33 ratio. It is located in midtown, not downtown, which is rough spot in Atlanta. Midtown is considered top business district in Atlanta where all top jobs located. Come on guys, at least give some facts straight.</p>
<p>Also, Ga Tech is close to several over 60% female schools Ga State, Emory U, Agnes Scott. BuckHead is only 10 minutes away. I don’t think that’s major problem. The problem is that whether one can survive the tough courses at Tech.</p>
<p>Hai…friends…
I am knew one to this discussion group.and i am from india.
I recently completed my secondary education and going to join in intermediate.
I am wellinterested in civil engeneering and i want join in worlds top colleges in engeneering as i have some special and new ideas to be implemented.
Can anyone please help me and say how i can get admissions into those colleges and which books i should read to face their entrance examination.
Please help me…
Thank you gentlemen.
Yours new friend,student…ram charan teja.</p>
<p>Civil is a very diverse field…so much so that broad-brush rankings can be a little misleading. Structures, environmental, and transportation share almost nothing in common, yet rankings try to group them together. For structural engineering, for example, one of the top schools in the world has not even been mentioned…you might want to explore this link…</p>
<p>[ATLSS</a> Engineering Research Center](<a href=“Welcome | Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems”>http://www.atlss.lehigh.edu/)</p>
<p>Just wondering why there has been no mention of Lehigh University?</p>
<p>Ely…ya…I was trying to correct that oversight in post #38!</p>
