CE/EE - finalizing my list

College Search & Selection
21

<p>Wow, we are in a very similar situation, original poster. I have similar stats and am looking in the region for the same thing, CE. Well, here's my list thus far:</p>

<p>University of Rochester
Boston University
GWU
Northeastern University
Villanova University
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Rochester Institute of Technology
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Buffalo
SUNY New Paltz
Lafayette College
Bucknell College </p>

<p>I'm looking most seriously into U of R and Binghamton. Curious, have you looked into Binghamton? I see some people mention Buffalo, but I've always thought Binghamton to be on a whole different level than Buffalo.</p>

22

<p>The engineering program at Buffalo is much stronger than Binghamton. SUNY Buffalo ranks 57 and Bing doesn't make any of the engineering rankings that I can see.</p>

<p>Don't be fooled by your impressions of overall reputation...</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

23

<p>How is Worcestor overall?</p>

24

<p>UMass, Michigan State, Virginia Tech., U of Toronto.</p>

<p>weenie-
The NRC does provide a specific rating for engineering faculty scholarship. When faculty do research and publish, they are on the cutting edge and can bring their knowledge and expertise to the classroom. Good researchers make better teachers. Their students benefit. Having PhD students around for TAs means they are available at all hours to help with problem sets and projects. It is like having more mentors around.</p>

<p>I don't think there are any real advantages to having a "co-op program". Students everywhere can get co-op jobs. They might be called internships, but it is the same thing. I have never seen any statistics that show advantages of co-op with employers. Do you think MIT students have any trouble getting summer jobs or employment after graduation?</p>

<p>If the general public regards RIT as superior in engineering to U Rochester, they are mistaken.</p>

<p>Sorry collegehelp. I've asked you a few times to clarify your first hand experience on this topic. It feels a bit like you are overstating your "knowledge" on the topic. Funny how the "peer review" results in US News don't match your opinions. </p>

<p>Anyway, I'm tired of the conversation, and I'll repeat again just for kids on the fence - you will get a fine education at either school. Pick the one that fits you best.</p>

27

<p>And, I will repeat that the SATs at U Rochester are 120 points higher than at RIT, a very large difference in student quality.</p>

<p>haha weenie, he ignores your question for the hundreth time.
now what about villanova or boston university for me!?</p>
