<p>I am currently at the stage in my college applications where I have applied to my choice universities. My top three being Case Western, Stanford, and Ohio State, planning on a major in computer engineering. My question is, what are the relative program strengths at these three universities?</p>
<pre><code> From what I can gather, Stanford would have the best computer engineering program, followed by OSU, then Case. This is judging solely from US News and Reports rankings, I don't know anything about their respective co-op programs and the such.
My main concern(and reason for posing this question) is that a Stanford education would not be so different from an education in my home state of Ohio to warrant moving all the way to California. I would not have the money to afford more than maybe one trip home a year, and I know that I would miss my family something awful. Of course, this would be a different situation if the education quality was significantly different.
