Case Western Engineering vs. Georgetown University Foreign Service

<p>I can't decide which school I should go to. I am extremely interested in international affairs/languages, and I would be able to study that in-depth at Georgetown. Their school of foreign affairs is widely regarded as one of the best in the nation. On the other hand, I'm not sure what kind of job opportunities I would have. I don't know if I want to work for the government. </p>

<p>Case Western Reserve University has a great engineering program. Although I have never been particularly interested in engineering, I think it's a field that I could "learn to love." I sometimes enjoy doing math and solving problems. Engineers nearly always have jobs (or so I've heard) and the international possibilities are endless. I could have an international career without actually studying international relations. </p>

<p>I really love the idea of going to Georgetown University. The city of Washington, D.C. is incredible. The classes seem fascinating and I'm sure I would have an enriching and rewarding college experience. But then again, maybe I would have a similar experience at Case Western in Cleveland. </p>

<p>Input/feedback would be greatly appreciated!! :)</p>

<p>This is a no brainer. Pick Georgetown. Do what you love, love what you do, and always try to be awesome at it. Don’t look back.</p>

<p>Definitely Georgetown.</p>

<p>Georgetown is the clear choice for you.</p>

<p>Engineering is not a field to stumble into half-heartedly.</p>

<p>Nobody learns to love engineering. It has one of the highest dropout/transfer out rates. Some who aren’t particularly suited for it learn to tolerate it.</p>

<p>If you have a passion, a deep interest in a subject, and there is potential for a meaningful career, then pursue that fiercely. Just understand that if you do not take full advantage of the Georgetown connections while you are there you may end up selling Groupons for a living (not that that is bad, just an example).</p>

<p>case western is amazing for engineering and georgetown is great for international relations. However as you said getting international relations jobs is a lot harder and the salary is much lower even after grad school, on the other hand getting good engineering jobs especially with a good education is much easier and there are many job opportunities that deal with international affairs. Both however would provide great college experiences so whatever you are more interested in.</p>
