Thanks a lot for all your comments! Really appreciate it!
I guess most of the people here tend towards Caltech and Michigan; with Caltech winning in international recognition while Michigan wining based on its fit.
I have a hard time deciding but looked into many areas and i actually found out some details, while not commonly ultilised at Caltech.
It actuallt has a partnership with the Art Center College of Design (one of the top Product Design programmes in the world) to allow people to take design courses (that would suit me). I also found out that the collaboration also spawned a few entrepreneurship incubators and accelerators which aim to fill the midpoint between technology and design which is great.
The BEM profs would also be helpful if i aim to start up or do r&d projects.
I wonder what people think of these initiatives? Will they help/ are they successful?
