Physics.... Stevens or NYU?

<p>Any opinions if one is significantly better than the other for a physics major?</p>

<p>[Physics</a> Help and Math Help - Physics Forums](<a href=“http://www.physicsforums.com/]Physics”>http://www.physicsforums.com/)</p>

<p>Go there and ask - it’s another forum that I visit and post in regularly. There are some pretty smart people there.</p>

<p>I vote for NYU, Stevens is really an Engineering school. If they both cost similar, I would goto NYU, far better reputation wherever you go, and you’ll also have more flexibility if you choose to change your major, since NYU is good in a number of things.</p>

<p>undefined are there any forums like that for engineers that are that active? I mean this is good but I want something with more students.</p>

<p>There are a lot of students on that forum, but I can’t say I know of any other. Most are physics, but there are tons of engineering students (more graduate than undergrad).</p>

<p>If you actually want advice from real life engineers, this may be a good choice: [Eng-Tips</a> Forums](<a href=“http://www.eng-tips.com/]Eng-Tips”>http://www.eng-tips.com/)</p>

<p>Is there anything I can help you with? I’m a junior EE major.</p>

<p>I heard from many a prior stevens student (now transferred into Cooper Union) that grades are “handed out” at Stevens and that real learning seldom takes place.</p>

<p>IMO, visit both schools, departments, and the professors and then make a decision!</p>

<p>i would say NYU…it is a much better school…with a better reputation…</p>

<p>I would say: Visit both schools and meet the professors…I’ve visited both the schools before…</p>

<p>And I gotta say: NYU has many options, resources, and is a vibrant campus altogether…Stevens, on the other hand, is educationally good, but it lacks a social life…</p>

<p>Also, after graduating from NYU, you may have a better chance of finding a job…because NYU has more connections than Stevens, especially because it is in NYC…</p>

<p>I would say NYU as well, much better school.</p>

<p>NYU has no campus tho</p>

<p>it might not have a campus…but it has the resources that every college should have…and the surrounding environment is exciting…</p>

<p>Stevens…on the other hand…does have a campus…however, a very boring one…</p>

<p>Nyu’s reputation is enough to convince me to go there tho.</p>

<p>if you go to NYU you will probably witness the NYU/PolyTech merger, your degree should be pretty valuable after that.</p>
