ND vs. Stanford?

<p>I am interested in Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering and am trying to decide between Stanford and Notre Dame. I love the atmosphere of Notre Dame, but it is hard to pass up the Academics of Stanford.
Does anyone have experience with the Aeronautics and Astronautics (Eng) major ar Stanford? or the Aerospace Eng program at ND?
Thanks in advanced for any help!!</p>

<p>(I will also post this in the Notre Dame forum)</p>

<p>This is a very easy decision - Have you checked the rankings of both of the schools? Stanford hands down. I believe their engineering department is ranked #2 and is consistently at the top. I'm not sure what Notre Dame's spot is, but it has NEVER been known for engineering - Definitely not in the top 25 - probably not even in the top 40 or 50. If you want the best education/career path, choose the best school in your field. You will never regret it.</p>
