<p>The price is about the same for both, according to finaid estimates. Looking to major in ECE or EE. Any pluses you can give for Cornell?</p>
<p>First, I have nothing but good things to say about CMU. It has a top-notch engineering program and to the extent one puts credence in rankings has a similarly ranked engineering program to Cornell. </p>
<p>However, Cornell has the better overall reputation as an overall University.</p>
<p>My son is at Cornell, but his best friend is at CMU. They both seem to enjoy and appreciate their schools. I’m not sure you can make a wrong decision. Might depend on which setting makes you feel most comfortable. Have you visited both?</p>
