I’m currently deciding whether to apply to MIT and Caltech ea or to Stanford. I’m almost completely sure I’m going to major in CS, but I’m interested in mechanical/electrical engineering as well.
I really can’t decide between MIT and Stanford because I do want a more rigorous curriculum (which MIT has) but I also like the startup culture of Stanford and its proximity to Silicon Valley (I’d like to join a major tech company or start my own, and I think an internship with one of these companies before graduation would be helpful.)
I don’t really care about climate, social life, etc. What would you recommend and do you all know of any resources that could help me make the decision?
