<p>I am curious which engineering school is better?</p>
<p>Cornell engineering is known to be among the best in the Ivy League. Not to try to belittle the SEAS students on this board, but if you were to decide between the two, Cornell would be a better choice.</p>
<p>it all depends on what you are looking for in an engineering school. </p>
<p>also, y would you be asking such a question CORNELLeng2010 if you are already going to cornell?</p>
<p>i knew someone would ask taht.......i just wanted to see it from a columbia perspective. I thought the Fu foundation was actually better...</p>
<p>Issue like which engineering program is better than another is arbitrary inasmuch as one opines with certain person value judgment and interest. A college education is what a student makes of it in the domain of studies one is identified with. Both Columbia and Cornell are excellent in the ways they are given the characters of the schools and student bodies. The main idea is really for students to spend their time wisely and diligently to reap the benefits and opportunity available to them, keeping in mind schooling there is expensive and exclusive to the school admission. More importantly concerned is the student learning and progress after graduation. Schooling is the medium to train up a person, while school reputation appears as the decoration, the real thing is how one stands out on his own after school.
In case one has a choice to make between the schools, one has a stand to take up and live with it.</p>

<p>For a PhD, probably. For undergrad, it doesn't matter that Cornell has a slightly more accomplished engineering faculty (which it does).</p>

<p>Agreed; I'm ashamed that I said what I did.</p>
