<p>hey guys, im currently picking between harvard and princeton right now and having quite a difficult time.</p>

<p>im thinking of majoring in some form of engineering, but im only 50% set on that and can go into related fields like CS or physics rather easily. if it weren't because im considering engineering, i would pick harvard without a second thought, but now im really in the middle.</p>

<p>so i wanted to ask harvard students what they think of their new engineering/applied science school right now. i saw a similar forum in the engineering thread, but i want to know what actual harvard students think. and im also keeping in mind all aspects of the college experience (dorm, life, food, research opportunity, grade in/deflation) and not just basing my choice off my unsure major and i will be visiting both schools.</p>

<p>thanks everyone in advance!</p>

<p>Engineering is one of the things I really just don’t know much about, and I don’t think there are any engineers among the other Harvard students who post on CC.</p>

<p>You might want to try contacting the admissions office and asking for contact info for a current engineering student. There will also likely be panels + discussions on Harvard engineering at prefrosh weekend.</p>

<p>(I can tell you that our CS and Physics programs are absolutely excellent!)</p>

<p>Princeton has a better physics and engineering consentration, I looked it up in a few different college ranking cites. Congrads, I’m sure no matter which one you go to it will be great (they are HARVARD AND PRINCETON) but Princeton is better for what you want to do.</p>
