<p>Hey guys so I just got accepted to IIT for Mechanical Engineering, and I just wanted to know how reputed the program is. A great thing about IIT is the scholarship: I got quite a hefty amount, and my parents would be happy to know that I wouldn't necessarily have to drain out their pockets for my UG :) but is IIT any good? how are it's rankings?</p>
<p>It’s fine … one of my relatives is alumni … now in northern Illinois univ…
Tech based institute … strong engineering program… Usnews ranking 100- 130 national university… Go for it </p>
<p>ah, great news 
i will still wait for my other decisions, but iit does seem more appealing now thx!</p>
<p>As a Physics professor at Illinois Tech, i can confirm that we have a very solid program in mechanical engineering. It is one of our most popular majors and our students have a high rate of employment after graduation. The students who want to go to graduate school get into top programs.</p>
<p>Rankings have debatable merit. You need to visit and decide if the school is a good fit and if it is financially feasible. </p>
<p>Thank you, @xraymancs ! Good to hear directly from the faculty :)</p>
<p>I’m an international student, and there is no possible way I can visit the campus. Maybe with some more time I should be able to decide :)</p>
