<p>Can you guys list the pros and cons with Georgia Techa and Umich? I really cant seem to make a choice...I am between these two for Aero Engin
Thanks...</p>
<p>Georgia Tech is ranked number 2 by US News for Aero Eng and is in the heart of ATL!</p>
<p>my friend's brother turned down MIT for UMich Aero (not for financial reason or distance)... but thats a different story</p>
<p>the main thing is that rankings matter little, and college experience matters more. visit both, and see which one suits you more. for instance, tech has a "techie" culture, but umich has a more favorable gender ratio if you are a male...</p>
<p>They both seem awesome! I just dont know which one to choose!</p>
<p>How does your financial package look at each school? All things equal, this is the deciding factor.</p>
<p>They ARE both awesome, for different reasons. (visited and investigated both)</p>
<p>How important is it to you to be surrounded by students and faculty of many different interests and experiences? I think this one major difference.</p>
<p>Also, you may be interested to see the average number of terms to graduation (in engineering) in each school, if that matters to you.</p>
<p>Both have excellent engineering colleges. Some other factors to consider, each dependent on your preference:</p>
<p>Mich is in a college town, Gtech in a large city. </p>
<p>It is cold and snowy in winter at Mich; though you can get some cold days in Atlanta and even a little snow once in a while, your winter weather will generally be pleasant.</p>
<p>Mich has a lot of colleges other than engineering and if you change your mind it is easy to switch. Gtech has mostly engineering and science, and , although it has a business and A&S colege, the offerings are much slimmer than at Mich in the event you want to switch.</p>
<p>Male to female ratio at Mich is close to even; at Gtech it is about 4 to 1.</p>
<p>Mich campus is much better to look at than Gtech campus.</p>
<p>Gtech still has the rep of using, more than any other engineering college, freshman and sophomore courses to "weed-out" students.</p>
<p>Though both have good coop programs, Gtech puts far more emphasis, money and effort into its programs.</p>
<p>I don't the the Male/Female ratio is a problem considering you're in the biggest city south of the Mason-Dixon line and there's at least 5 or 6 other colleges around. The tech only thing might be an issue though, and something you should consider. How certain are you about engineering? Of course, the converse of this, is that there's so much tech research going on and so many industry connections, it may be much easier to find research work or an internship.</p>
<p>Male/Female ratio doesn't matter at all.....if you know how to know how to get girls.... ;-). Yes, the weather in Georgia Tech matters for me....I'm used to warm weather.</p>
<p>The US News rankings seems pretty close too....</p>
<p>But of course....you can get more chances of UG research and internship at GaTech. (I've heard of a Lockheed-Martin co-op....just North of GaTech).</p>
<p>mafool has a point too....</p>
<p>But still, if you're dead serious about engineering....I'd say join GaTech.
It has a heavier course load....and Aero companies know that....won't that affect your resume ??</p>
<p>Think about it....and do let us know !</p>
<p>Personally weather is a big factor for me, so you know my suggestions already. </p>
<p>Agreed with the girls thing. There are numerous universities in Atlanta, such as Georgia State, Emory, Spelman, Morehouse, and Agnes Scott. They all have more women than men, and Agnes Scott is all women. But most likely you won't have much time for the ladies while trying to complete your education ;)</p>
