<p>I'm having a hard time deciding where to go. George Mason would be much cheaper since I wouldn't have to pay for room & board since it's like 10 miles away, but Virginia Tech is obviously a lot better. Is it really worth it to get private loans and be much more in debt for an education at VT rather than at GMU? Also, I was thinking about going to GMU for the first year or two, and then transferring to VT... would that be a good idea? Also, it would be more affordable to go to grad school if I went to GMU since I wouldn't be in so much debt.
If you are an engineering student at GMU or know someone who is, how is their engineering program?</p>
<p>Hi,Stone_cutter, Son is graduating from UVa in May in engineering.He had an internship last summer and one of the kids with him in the internship was from George Mason. He said it seemed like George Mason had a good engineering program.</p>
