Bio-Med engg in Purdue Vs Drexel Vs UC Riverside

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<pre><code> I got into following colleges
- Drexel 5 years BS (with Co-op program) Bio-Med Engg (appr $70K)
- Purdue 4 years BS Bio-Med Engg (appr $45K)
- UC Riverside 5 years BS+MS combo Bio-Engg (appr $32K)

I live in CA so UC Riverside works out to be economical + save one year to get MS degree but then I hear UC Riverside not considered good. So the question I have is
- How good is UC Riverside BS+MS program compared to Drexel / Purdue
- How would rank all these 3 colleges
- How important is name of the college getting into job, internship etc. Is it worth putting in more additional $190K money into Drexel that too for BS degree. Even if I graduate from UC Riverside, there is no guarantee that this additional money is recouped in terms of salary difference just because someone graduated from Drexel. Does this analysis make sense ?

Any insights into this would be very helpful. Thank you for your help.

<p>Hey! I was stuck in the same situation. Drexel vs Purdue. But I chose to opt for Purdue because well, I have READ a lot of reviews. Drexel came across as a college which is money oriented. It wants your money that you. Purdue(better ranked), along with a godly engineering degree is cheaper and well AFFORDABLE in my case. Purdue too offers co-op and have great starting salaries. Im sorry i dont have any info about UC riverside…</p>

<p>So Purdue>Drexel. No doubt.</p>

<p>The choice should be between Purdue and UC Riverside. Is the cost for all 4 years or just one year? Is it tuition or cost of attendance (with tuition, room&board, books, transportation)?</p>
