<p>Stanford, Cornell, MIT, Caltech are similar in reputation to Brown but are much better engineering schools</p>
<p>as for the ivy leagues, cornell and princeton are the 2 that are the best at engineering, harvard, brown, dartmouth, yale have engineering but they aren’t as reputable in the engineering community as cornell or princeton</p>
<p>Sharjeel92, one of the things to remember as you go through your college search is that there is a difference in what engineers “perceive” to be a good school and what everyone else “perceives” to be a good school in other fields. I’m sure many few people other than engineers would consider Georgia Tech or Purdue a top 10 school.</p>
<p>Are there “good” engineering universities like Brown … I am not talking about the engineering ranking here … but about :- </p>
<p>i love the campus … i like the dorm rooms ! … the laid back atmosphere … the friendly people … helpful professors {who really want their students to do well … stated by my friend} … and excellent facilities </p>
<p>I liked brown mostly because of the above reasons … so again Are there “good” engineering universities like Brown</p>
<p>Franklin W. Olin would definitely meet your criteria</p>
<p>Dorm rooms: probably the nicest I’ve seen at any school in the country
Friendly/Laid back: yeah probably one of the engineering schools where people like to have fun
Helpful Professors: Constantly rated by the Princeton Review as having the best professors and most accessible professors
Best Facilities: The college was built 5-10 years ago and everything is brand new and gorgeous, the labs are amazing, everything looks great and is great</p>
<p>you should definitely go visit some time, I live like 10-15 minutes away and the school is amazing</p>
<p>Olin has a very low acceptance … so are there universities like Olin … .with a higher acceptance rate .( easier to get in ) … for matches as well as for my safeties</p>
<p>All in the mix … Olin …
But what abt my matches ? </p>
<p>and safeties … i have visited Purdue … and even though the engineering programs are excellent … NO WAY ! … i will apply there though … this is what I finally want :- </p>
<p>Universities with :-
Excellent or good Engineering programs (with in my reach … please except MIT , Cal tech …) .
2)An option of double major [Without any concession in the Engineering part though , a barely decent 1]
3)The overall college experience … For example … {If i am going out for a party or so … it shouldn’t cost me a lot … [I have heard about UCLA , NYU :|] } …
4)Laid Back atmosphere … OK … MIT [Students Vs faculty] … Princeton [Student Vs Student] … even though I would love to to be in an Uni that is free of such competition … at the end … i am going to study my ass off .
5)The safety and the town/city in which the uni is present should be good . I am not asking for Hollywood … or the something like Purdue … I’d say in between
6)The university should have a good reputation and should have good recruitment history and facilities for undergraduate engineers . [ I don’t mind Co-op programs]
7)The degree should be internationally recognized and respected worldwide
8)Although Money is not an issue for me … i am still considering of universities which do not cost much … as I want to save for grad school … and Dont want to put a lot of pressure on my parents … This is an Option
9)It is not necessary the dorms should be like palaces … I would prefer decent ones
10)It Should have State-of-the-art facilities … this again is one of my major concerns </p>
<p>I need uni’s with the above requirements in any case should not hinder the Engineering program</p>
<p>Please suggest universities with a mix of all my requirements … if not all at least the major 1’s - list Safeties . . and matches also</p>
<p>Olin is a reach. … I cant depend much on It </p>
<p>I Know it is a bit to long. … but bear with me … Please
Thank you</p>
<p>Chck ur PM … .QuasiProfound …
BUMP … i need answers … and it also depends upon ur ranl and grading sheet given by ur skool … my skool has given me 1 . </p>
<p>Sharjeel, Brown is nothing unique in that regard. The campus also pales in comparison to many others, but that’s not the point. </p>
<p>You really need a better grasp of these universities. I understand that you loved Brown when you visited, but it doesn’t really match what you’re looking for, in my opinion.</p>
<p>First, some stretch schools might include Stanford and Princeton. The former matches everything, and is good in IR/econ and engineering. Princeton is as well, although you can’t double-major – this hasn’t stopped everyone from psych majors to engineering majors getting jobs in politics, tech firms, investment banking firms, etc. </p>
<p>You should really do more research on your schools. You reasons for loving Brown are thin at best, and apply to myriad other schools.</p>
<p>Brown is an amazing school, even if it isn’t the best for engineering, college isn’t only about resume building. If you love Brown, please, apply. </p>
<p>intellectually stimulating colleges are typically the top LACs (Amherst, Swarthmore, Wesleyan (because it is quite similar to Brown)), Columbia and Chicago, especially the LACs have a really nice, tight-knitted student body.
Columbia has Fu Engineering, which is really good. Cornell has an amazing engineering programme! </p>
<p>Good luck! </p>
<p>You could also try the collegeboard matchmaker to find safety and match schools.</p>
… i will apply there though … this is what I finally want :- </p>
… and it also depends upon ur ranl and grading sheet given by ur skool … my skool has given me 1 . </p>
