I was accepted to both schools, and I’m unsure of which one to choose… The tuition for both schools are roughly the same, but I know Cooper Union is relatively small and doesn’t provide housing. I’m planning on going into chemical engineering, and I’m not sure about the relative strengths of each one, though I know both schools are strong in STEM.
This is a location/size of school issue more than anything else. CU is tiny, but the location in Manhattan will open more doors for you than Cleveland. If you can handle living in NYC, I would go with CU.
I also wanted to know about the school’s chemical engineering programs though, since I’m not entirely sure how strong Cooper’s programs are. I’ve heard mixed reviews from people on its engineering program, since I’ve heard its strong primarily in art.
