<p>Does anyone know if BU (boston university) is a good school to go to for undergrad science and/ or engineering.
Also, if possible could you recomend other schools that are good in those fields yet aren't the obvious ones like MIT, Cal Tech...</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard BU is a pretty good engineering/science school (it was ranked in the top 50 for engineering by USNews). Another school that has good engineering and science programs is the Colorado School of Mines (<a href="http://www.mines.edu%5B/url%5D">www.mines.edu</a>).</p>

<p>I hope this helps.</p>
<p>Alexandre, for science, I believe Harvard and Berkeley are slightly better than Stanford :)</p>
<p>Rtkysg, long time no see. Hope all is well. You know more about sciences, so if you say that Harvard and Cal have an edge over Stanford in the sciences, I will take your word for it. I was being general of course.</p>
<p>Yes Alexandre, I was pretty busy with my research recently, happy thanks giving :)</p>
