<p>Hi, I'm really interested in physics and geography and I might major in engineering, if not physics or some natural science. Can I have some suggestions on some schools in colder climates that have a reputation for these things? thanks =)</p>
<p>...don't say MIT...</p>
<p>MIT! jk. My friend went to University of Wisconsin in Madison for Biology. My cousin goes to University of Chicago, which is also really good in Engineering and Physics. There are a lot of schools in NE. I know someone doing astrophysics at BU and he says its awesome. Hope that helps man.</p>
<p>Wpi, rpi, rit?</p>
<p>The University of Chicago does not offer engineering.
UW-Madison does have a highly ranked engineering school, as well as strong programs in all the sciences.</p>
<p>Cornell? Ithaca is cold and the engineering program ranks in the top 10 overall, best in the ivies.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon... pittsburgh weather is a bit erratic.</p>
<p>There's a pretty decent engineering school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It gets pretty darn cold there during the winter.</p>
<p>URochester, Dartmouth</p>
<p>Berkeley. Don't forget air conditioners!</p>
<p>Michigan tech</p>
<p>You want cold? The University of Minnesota is very strong in physics (top 25), geography (generally considered one of the top 3 or 4 programs in the country) and engineering (top 25). And boy, is it cold!</p>
<p>Best of all it's cheap for out-of-state students with OOS tuition and fees of $14,756---nearly $20K less than a top private school.</p>
<p>How about the University of Minnesota? Top 25 in physics and engineering, top 3 or 4 in geography. And boy, is it cold!</p>
<p>Best of all, it's cheap, just $14,756/yr in tuition and fees for out-of-state students.</p>
<p>^ sorry about the double post; first one got hung up in cyberspace for a moment & I thought I'd lost it</p>
<p>If you are female, Smith Colleges Picker Engineering Program is excellent and has an innovative approach to teaching engineering.</p>
<p>Smith is also part of the 5-college consortium (with Amherst, Hampshire, Mt. Holyoke and Univ Mass). You can take classes at any, and there is a free shuttle bus to get to classes and activities at the other campuses. </p>
<p>For more information on their engineering program at: Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program and at: Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program</p>
<p>Cornell is cold and ranked #3 for UG physics. And it's also not MIT.</p>
<p>Throwing in recommendations for Carnegie Mellon, Rensselaer Institute of Technology, and Case Western (even though Cleveland sucks).</p>
<p>You want cold? You want engineering?</p>
<p>You could want the University of Alaska Fairbanks engineering program.</p>

<p>That is, if you can handle 40-below.</p>
<p>Hey, you said you wanted cold.</p>
<p>Clarkson - BRRRRRRR!</p>
<p>Clarkson</a> University: Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering</p>
<p>I can't imagine a better school for you than MIT, if you have the proper credentials. Cold weather? Check. Arguably the best engineering school in the country? Check. Did I mention it gets absolutely freezing? As in, I'm sitting right now in my dorm room, wondering why the hell it's 33 degrees outside in October? So let's go ahead and put a double check next to the cold weather. And for kicks, we might want to re-emphasize the whole good-at-engineering thing, so double check there, too.</p>
<p>Cornell, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon/Johns Hopkins (may be not cold enough?), RPI, and the Big Ten schools--Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Northwestern.</p>
