mechanical engineering, UW, U of minnesota...

<p>So I'll probably study mechanical engineering in college. Here's the schools I got in: UW, U of minnesota, Penn State, Northeastern. I'm an international student so I have to pay out-of-state tuition anyway. I just wonder which school's mechanical engineering program is better.
Also I got waitlist for wisconsin madison but I don't really want to wait for that, should I though?
Thanks guys.</p>

<p>UW = Washington?</p>

<p>All are good options. Penn State is better if you want a small-town environment. The other three would be better if you like to be in the city. NEU has a nice coop program (you might want to ask about how that works for intl students). The others are probably stronger for academic research.</p>
