<p>i'm having issues deciding... why should i do mechanical engineering at MIT? and not only for liek the academics of it, but like what else about MIT will be good if i went?</p>
<p>If you are sure you want to do engineering or science, MIT looks like the way to go.</p>
<p>Princeton is more prestigious than Berkeley, in general, but in engineering it is less prestigious.</p>
<p>Princeton is you're looking for more than just excellence in engineering...</p>
<p>i felt that berkeley wasn't necessarily as nice a place for undergrads, tho if you're comfortable in such a large school, you might do fine. read around, we talk lots about how cool MIT is; princeton is good for science but not quite so much for eng, tho still an excellent place.</p>
