<p>Does anyone know what the difference in rigor would be for UMASS Amherst, UCONN, Northeastern?</p>
<p>um… Uconn and UMass are similar. Uconn is more selective and highly regarded in chemical engineering and civil engineering. They are all pretty similar but I would say it goes:
- Uconn
- Umass
- Northeastern</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply - I would have thought that they are all similiar tiers and similar level of difficulty - any other opinions?</p>
<p>Also - what makes an engineering program so rigorous. Sounds like an obvious question, but reallly isn’t? Is it the quantity of work, the complexity of the subject matter? </p>
<p>I know that some schools try to ‘weed’ out kids from the major, but are these schools some of those. I would think not, as they are all trying to rise in rankings. </p>
<p>Are some majors harder than others and why? I would think Civil/ME/IND would be less difficult than BIOMED or EE -</p>
<p>Bump Bump!!</p>

<p>Not sure what you’re getting at - it is a serious question</p>
