<p>I am looking for some opinions regarding deciding between Rutgers School of Engineering Honors program for free vs. Cornell which will probably cost around $30k-$40k out of pocker per year vs. Carnegie Mellon which will probably cost about the same as Cornell. Does anyone have any opinions on this very difficult decision? In particular, in 4 years how much less value does a Rutgers Honors degree have vs. a degree from Cornell (Ivy) or Carnegie Mellon. Any opinions welcomed. Thanks.</p>
<p>I am in a very similar situation to this and would also like to know the answer :)</p>
<p>My S had the same decision to make 4 years ago (with the exception that he didn’t apply to Cornell - didn’t like). While I would have been happier had he chosen Rutgers I can’t complain because he has loved CMU and is graduating with a very good job.</p>
