material science and engineering cmu or ucla

<p>Hello. I recently got admitted by carnegie mellon university and ucla. For carnegie mellon, I can choose to enroll into the CIT and choose material science program. For ucla, I got admitted to their engineering school with material science as my major. </p>

<p>So, my question is, what are your opinions on these two schools for my engineering major? All data are helpful. </p>

<p>For me, UCLA seems better for me right now because the science departments there aren't that bad. And since engineering has strong ties with physical sciences, I thought it's important for me to go to a school with good science departments as well because I am going to be taking courses from the science departments.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for all your help.</p>

<p>You’ll probably wind up taking freshman physics 1 & 2 (with all the other engineering majors), maybe a quantum class, a chemistry class, and maybe a bio class. These will all be large lecture classes where, really, the strengths of the department doesn’t matter a whole lot. The real difference will be in your engineering classes.</p>

<p>I was a MSE major at CMU with a minor in physics, and I absolutely loved it.</p>

<p>I have the same dilemma but it’s about an Econ major… <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1324497-ucla-carnegie-mellon.html#post14222593?[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1324497-ucla-carnegie-mellon.html#post14222593?&lt;/a&gt;! :|</p>
