<p>Engineering is not Harvard's strong-point, while it is for Imperial College London. Where would you go if you made it to both and are a definite engineering major? Why?</p>
<p>indeed, the engineering program in imperial college london is “better” in terms of ranking. however, a harvard degree is a harvard degree. it is the most prestigious it can get. </p>
<p>also, as a harvard student, you can benefit from the proximity of MIT, inarguably the top engineering school in the world. also as a harvard student, you can take engineering classes at MIT.</p>
<p>if money is sort of an issue for you (assuming you are neither a US nor an EU resident), i would go to harvard. standard of living in boston is lower than those in london.</p>
