Mechanical engineering - WPI, UConn, or UMass?

<p>I got accepted for mechanical engineering to WPI, UConn, and UMass. I got deferred by Northeastern so still waiting for their decision. </p>

<p>One of the biggest issues is money. WPI offered me $15,000 a year. I have a scholarship to UMass for about $1,500 a year. My family has about $23,000 saved for college. Leftover costs for WPI would be about $117,000. UConn would also be about $117,000. UMass (in-state) would be about $51,000.</p>

<p>I'm thinking WPI has a much better engineering program, but is it worth it to go to WPI and be in debt? Would it make more sense to go to UMass for undergrad and a more well-known grad school?</p>

<p>Actually UMass and WPI are on the same level for engineering. Save the money and go to UMass</p>

<p>In the latest engineering rankings by us news, umass is tanked 51st, northeastern 57th and wpi 64th, and Uconn was after wpi</p>

<p>Go to UMASS bro and save the money for grad school. Plus, UMASS is more fun then WPI.</p>
