<p>I want to major in material science engineering and was offered admission to Penn State and Purdue. What to do !!???!!!</p>
<p>Can't go wrong with either one. Have you been able to visit? Best of luck!</p>
<p>Agreed... both are fantastic for engineering. Are costs similar between the two?</p>
<p>They are both great. Congrats.</p>
<p>I have visited both schools and like both campuses, though I think PSU is nicer and seems to have a more updated campus. PSU has more research opportunites for undergraduates while Purdue seems to be aimed at cranking out engineers directly into the work force. Tuition is essentially the same. I am a sousaphone player - it may be harder to get into the PSU Blue Band than the Purdue Marching Band.....tough decision.</p>
