<p>I'm a HS senior than has been accepted to both MIT and Cornell colleges of engineering but right now I am having a difficult time making a decision on which engineering college to attend. Does anyone giving me some advice? If you do include pros and cons please. I am planning to study chemical engineering.</p>
<p>My husband picked MIT over Cornell because he (and I quote) "didn't want to go to college in the middle of nowhere". :)</p>
<p>More seriously, have you visited both schools? Are you planning to come to MIT's Campus Preview Weekend next week?</p>
<p>I attended a summer program at Cornell for six weeks so i know enough about them to be ready to compare to any other great institution. I will be going to CPW. I do not have a problem with being in the middle of nowhere I just want to know were a student is more likely to excel in engineering despite it's difficulty and which school is more likely to have internships or a means to acquire experience engineering.</p>
<p>Well, MIT's definitely a great place for finding internships and research jobs -- if you want a research job (UROP) or an internship in engineering, you will be able to get one. About 80% of students participate in on-campus research during their time at MIT, and 75% of students participate in an internship. There is a program called [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/upop/www%5DUPOP%5B/url">http://web.mit.edu/upop/www]UPOP[/url</a>], for sophomores in the school of engineering, which guarantees a summer internship for students who complete a one-week course during the previous winter.</p>
<p>Engineering is definitely difficult at MIT, but students get a lot of support. Informally, the culture is very collaborative and students do problem sets and study in big groups of friends. (My husband was an aerospace engineering major, and all of the students in his year in his major used to have big problem set sessions in a lounge on campus.)</p>
