<p>Somone on the Caltech board started a thread comparing Caltech and MIT as engineering schools. The comments of any current MIT engineering students would definately be appreciated.</p>
<p>I'm not at MIT yet, but I've looked at both schools. In my opinion, for engineering the two are pretty much on the same level. Both have great reseach and internship opportunities - personal attention at Caltech b/c of small student body vs. the UROP program at MIT. MIT has a much wider range of courses and fields of study, so in my mind, Caltech is where you want to go if you know EXACTLY what you want to study and do with your life, whereas MIT is more a place to explore.</p>
