Deciding which school to learn engineering at

<p>Yes. They will be giving me 30,000 a year. And are you saying that there is no possible way I could go to Miami because I can only borrow 5,500 per year? I’m sorry I am not very educated in financial aid.</p>

<p>Yes, you can only borrow $5500 for your frosh year. Your parents would have to co-sign more…bad idea.</p>

<p>There are many choices you could consider with the $30k from your parents and $5,500 from a loan.</p>

<p>BTW…SIU would be a challenge for you. ALL good eng’g programs are a challenge.</p>

<p>I don’t like the school. As I have said plenty of times I was asking for an opinion on the 3 schools I have already mentioned.</p>

23

<p>I’m sorry that was just rude. This is a forum where people are supposed to help others with what they need help with, not pointing out random errors with their grammar.</p>

<p>If you would have to get loans for Miami and Missouri doesn’t have lacrosse then you have answered your own question.</p>

<p>Erin’s Dad has an excellent point for you to consider.</p>

<p>Any ABET engineering program is going to be rigorous. You will have to study hard, and this would be true even if you had absolutely perfect stats. It’s a tough major (I speak from experience!)</p>

<p>I’m just going to throw out there that choices of schools around existence of a frat and lacrosse team might play less of a role than you think. You won’t have a lot of time for frat parties. You won’t have a lot of time for a sport that requires you to travel (club sport that you can drop into might be doable, though.) Seriously - it is a demanding major. One is hard-pressed to finish the program in 4 years with taking a full load. Some of your professors may expect three hours of homework a night, two nights a week. It’ll cut into your play time/social life in a major way. </p>

<p>Best of luck to you regardless of where you end up deciding to go to college.</p>

<p>Was that really necessary? This is hardly what one would consider a formal setting. The OP is asking for advice on finding a school to study engineering AT. I rather doubt that grammar usage was the most important consideration in posting this thread.</p>

<p>Ok so forget all of the little details and just answer the question of which of those 3 schools would have the best engineering program.</p>

28

<p>I think you need a little attitude adjustment.</p>

29

<p>I’m not sure if your telling that to me, but if you are, I just can’t see how it’s that hard to answer my original question without going in detail about random things that weren’t even involved in the original question</p>

<p>OP, all three of those are good engineering schools. Pick an ABET accredited program and go to the one you can best afford.</p>
