Mechanical Engineering - V Tech or Penn State

College Majors Engineering Majors

I have got acceptances from General Engineering from V Tech and Mech Engineering from Penn State (University Park campus).

With V Tech, I can opt for Mech Engg only after a year, because V Tech does not offer any particular Major in the first year.

Please advise which way should I proceed.

Thanks.

You don’t really have a wrong choice here. It’s a highly personal question that really should depend on where you feel more comfortable.

Yes, both are very good programs - my D was accepted into both, among 6 schools she had narrowed it down to.

The opt-in after a year doesn’t really impact anything, that’s just how many schools do it.

You need to attend admitted-student days, hang around the campus for several days and just see where you feel most comfortable. The education at both schools will be comparable, and very good.
