<p>which of these have small class size, and good electrical engineering/physics programs? be free to suggest other universities that are not on the list.</p>

<p>being from CMU, let me tell you a little bit about my school.</p>

<p>I do not like Pittsburgh, being from NYC originally. There's nothing to do and no where to go in this city. The Chinese food here is pretty bad, I can't stand it. The campus is very diverse, but people are very focused in their majors. Girls are NOT PRETTY! (With a few exceptions, and the Asian girls are alright) When I go to any other campus, I see beauties all over the place, and that's what CMU has done to my standard. </p>

<p>The weather here is pretty much your average Northeastern weather.</p>

<p>There is little (or at least not as much as the Ivy Leagues') grade inflation at CMU, and they work you hard. The average undergrad courseload is 5 courses as opposed to 4 for many other schools. BUT you don't at + or - in your grade. This means you just have to get a 90 for a 4.0, while an 89 will only get you a 3. </p>

<p>Hope this helps :)</p>

<p>how are the class sizes at CMU? maybe you can compare it to the other universities on the list :D</p>

6

<p>Purdue and Lehigh would be worth considering.</p>

<p>Intro classes are all very big, anywhere from 30 to 40 people. If you get to the Jr. Sr. level, then you get relatively smaller classes. Personally I don't think class size matter that much, since college is about learning the stuff yourself.</p>
