<p>Linymom, if you go visit CMU you should also go see Univ of Pitt. I believe they were just given a sizable amount of money for their engineering school.</p>
<p>I want to thank the other professionals posting for their input about one of the questions I have had about rankings. I think however, one must weigh other variables about what they want in a college experience as well as how good the school is looked upon in the area of engineering. Size of the school, STEM environment versus rounded one and who can say whether a student who starts on one coast won’t decide later to move to the other.</p>
