Please help me decide between Rutgers, Stevens IT, and Drexel, as I was accepted into all 3.
If you have either attended any of these schools, or have been in a similar predicament, please feel free to comment.
As of right now, these are how each school compare with each other in my situation:
Rutgers:
Rank- #26 Computer Engineering
Estimated Financial Cost- $32k (including room and board)
Stevens IT:
Rank- #35 Computer Engineering
Estimated Financial Cost- $38k (including room and board)
Drexel:
Rank- #40 Computer Engineering
Estimated Financial Cost- $25k (including room and board)
Accepted into Accelerated BS/MS Program (Master’s degree obtained in 5 years)

Academically equivalent. Choose location and proximity to future coop jobs. Hard to believe that Drexel is most affordable. Congrats!
Drexel is a job factory. Stevens was really pushing cyber security during our visit.
Where did you feel most comfortable?
Update: I was just accepted into NYU Tandon School of Engineering
Rank- #32
Estimated Financial Cost- $25k (including room and board)
I definitely like the thought of living in the city, thats why I’m learning towards NYU as of right now.
Well Drexel is in a major city. It’s not Manhattan and University City is not the The Village but it could be more appealing to some - me included because it’s not overwhelming like Manhattan can be. Philly still has everything to offer that a major city has and Center City/University City are relatively safe like the area around NYU. You’ll probably be able to live off campus a lot cheaper at Drexel. Getting your master’s can’t hurt either and the co-op experience is a plus.
