I am an international student from India and am facing difficulty between the selection of colleges between Uwashington, Seattle and Penn State. I want to pursue aerospace engineering and also want to be socially active. Which college should I apply to?
I’d vote for Penn State, especially since their engineering program is excellent. However, Uwash has an awesome location in one of America’s coolest and fastest growing cities and is also a great school. You have two really good options!
One of the benefits of Washington’s program is its close relationship with Boeing:

Apply to or enroll at?
You should apply to multiple colleges. If you’ve already been admitted, sorry I can’t advise on the best choice.
See which would allow you to switch to mechanical engineering with an aerospace minor, since many aero internships require clearance and internationals can’t have it.
Or email each and Al about their international placement for internships.
