<p>Hey I'm planning to do computer engineering with maybe a double major in actuary science. I'm really having trouble deciding between these. Anyone know how the facilities for each are? Or which is better school to attend? Would really help if someone could point me in the right direction to the better school in general. Thanks. </p>
<p>Anyone? Some responses would really help make my decision.</p>

<p>I’m kind of wondering what NYU is doing on this list. NYU’s is awfully expensive, and RIT is a better engineering program, and Lehigh’s is better than that. The coop opps at RIT are legendary, but even then Lehigh has some advantages. Both schools have a gender imbalance that makes some people hesitate, but Lehigh’s is less than RIT’s. If money is not an object, Lehigh. I suspect however that RIT would be less expensive; by how much you haven’t said.</p>
<p>Yeah I have really good aid from all the schools, even NYU, so money isn’t an object. So you think Lehigh would be better than NYU?</p>
<p>yes, I do. What are the costs to you of each school? Loans are a cost to you.</p>
<p>Around 8,000 a year for each. </p>
<p>wow, you’ve done very well in acquiring FA. To find NYU and RIT equal in cost is remarkable. Is there any chance you would not do a STEM major?</p>
<p>Yeah I’m grateful for it too, I was expecting near nothing from NYU. Yeah there’s a chance I might do political science. </p>
<p>I’m more familiar with RIT and Lehigh engineering than NYU’s, so I don’t want to disparage NYU’s. On the other hand, NYU offers more non-STEM majors than RIT and probably Lehigh. They each would be different experiences in important ways. Let’s see if we can get some help from some other CCers, esp. about NYU’s engineering. One other thing, have you compared the ease with which you can do CE and actuarial at each school? </p>
<p>I know all the schools let you double major, take courses from other departments, but not beyond that. </p>
<p>Check with each school to see if the engineering departments make that possible (with your AP credits) in 4 years. Engineering is notorious for the number of credits they demand for graduation.</p>
<p>Oh thanks didn’t think of that</p>
<p>Are you sure you will be happy living in a dense and busy neighborhood such as the NYU area in Lower Manhattan? Would the lack of a “traditional campus” at NYU be an issue for you? Have you investigate the campus life/activities at RIT and Lehigh.</p>
<p>Yeah I don’t mind not having a campus environment neither a plus nor negative. And all of the three schools have clubs and other activities I’d do for fun since I have a very eclectic set of interests. </p>
