<p>U Texas, U Florida, and U Mich are the obvious choices. CU-Boulder has some similarities as well, as do Udub and KU.</p>
<p>@Alexandre: Virginia and Iowa both have engineering programs. Not necessarily their strengths, but they do exist. Indiana does not have one - perhaps that’s what you were thinking of?</p>
<p>Noimagination, I meant Vermont and Iowa. And yes, Iowa and Clemson have Engineering departments (Vermont does not), but they are really not that good.</p>
<p>^ I hate to nitpick, but Vermont does offer engineering: [Undergraduate</a> Programs : School of Engineering (SoE) Home : University of Vermont](<a href=“CEMS Home | College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences | The University of Vermont”>CEMS Home | College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences | The University of Vermont)</p>
<p>If not Indiana, perhaps it was Oregon that caught your eye? UO does not have engineering programs - they are all down in Corvallis at OSU.</p>
<p>Alexandre The University of Iowa does have a good engineering program, here is a video which might cite a few things for you of the schools reputation:

<p>Iowa State is known for engineering.</p>
<p>
I’m just as confused by you including UCLA. UCLA is not particularly strong in engineering and it’s atmosphere is as far from a college town as you can get.</p>
<p>Also a few resources:

<p>UCBChem, UCLA is ranked among the top 20 in Engineering. I agree that it is not located in a college town, it is at least located in a nice part of LA.</p>
<p>Noimagination, Vermont’s Engineering offerings are extremely limited. Wisconsin is an Engineering powerhouse. My point was that schools like Clemson, Iowa and Vermont have small and limited Engineering programs.</p>
<p>
I don’t disagree, but where I’m sitting “not” means zero, not somewhat limited. And while not anywhere near the level of Wisconsin, Iowa and Clemson do have varied and decent-sized engineering programs.</p>
<p>I agree that OP has better options, such as those I mentioned in post #21.</p>
<p>Well I would suggest OP to look into Iowa, and also University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign where there is one of the best engineering programs in the world.</p>
<p>I was rejected by Iowa. Go to Iowa State or Michigan. There is one of the best engineering programs in the world there.</p>
<p>woah woah woah, Clemson has limited engineering majors? We have engineering majors in the fields of Bioengineering, Biosystems, Ceramics, Materials, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering. I think we have just as many engineering fields as any other school.</p>
<p>Also, engineering is the most popular major here at Clemson. Don’t tell me that my major is limited or not strong. I’m in the civil engineering department and last year we were ranked #20 in the country tied with Florida I think.</p>
<p>A more proper statement would be that Clemson’s engineering program is not as good as other schools but that still does not mean that it is not a strong program.</p>
<p>I’m just offended since I’m an engineering major at Clemson and I know that our program is highly regarded in South Carolina (best engineering program) and throughout the Southeast. I mean I managed to get a summer internship in North Carolina after my freshman year with the North Carolina Department Of Transportation (which I had to turn down since I wanted to come home).</p>
<p>That’s what I thought too-that Clemson was the tech and ag school for S. Carolina. LIke Purdue in Indiana.</p>
<p>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities! :)</p>
<p>
rjkofnovi I never remember you making statements that you applied to Iowa and was rejected. It’s probably best not to state it with most of your sentences.</p>
<p>^^^^You’re joking right?</p>
<p>Having lived in Madison (and several other college towns) and went to school at UT-Austin. I think UT-Austin is most analogous to UW-Madison.</p>
<p>They are similar academically in similar fields. Both are located in the state capital. The view from the campus to the capital is even similar. The feel of the student body is similar - laid back, liberal.</p>
