GeorgiaTech vs Vanderbilt

<p>My S is considering undergrad engineering at Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt. We are having difficulty in making a choice as we do not know much about the engineering program at Vanderbilt. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt is a great school overall but if he really wants to study engineering GT is by far a better choice. Not to mention the cost of Tech is much less.</p>

<p>My freshman DD had that decision last year. Financially, both schools were equivalent for her (very generous). It was difficult turning down such a great school (for me anyway), but DD was going into engineering. If it were some other major, Vandy would have been the stronger choice. But I could not argue with her that GT was the best choice for engineering. It was a no-brainer as far as she was concerned. She’s also having the time of her life.</p>

<p>Very useful replies. Thanks.</p>
