PSU or Texas Tech for Me

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I got accepted to both Pennsylvania State U.-University Park and Texas Tech, I am planning on either going for anything relating to EE, CS, CE, EECS, etc. What do you recommend has a better program for this kind of engineering? I plan on moving out west to the Silicon Valley area after I get my B.S. and hope to get into Stanford's engineering grad school to get my M.S. or get a job in the San Jose / San Francisco area. Which degree from which school will look better for me? I see PSU is ranked at #14 for best UG engineering program and Texas Tech is not even ranked on there. But that is just overall, it does not focus on their EE / CS programs.</p>

<p>One thing I noticed is that PSU and TT both have EE and CS for undergrads. But PSU has Computer Engineering, while Texas Tech has EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) - which Penn State does not have.</p>

<p>What do you recommend? - Basically, tell me which B.S. would be the best out of the possible options (example: b.s. in MAJOR from SCHOOL)</p>

<p>PS - Is it possible for me to view a list of best undergraduate schools in engineering with a focus on electrical engineering / computer science?</p>

<p>PSU has a better engineering program, but a degree from Tech will get you where you want to be. Either school would be good to go to, so if you are not overly concerned with rankings I'd focus on the social aspects of both schools.</p>

<p>If I may ask, why these two schools? They are pretty different.</p>

<p>Out of the schools I've visited I've liked these 2 the best... and I have good friends at both schools (I used to live in PA, now live in TX).</p>

<p>isn't the tuition going to be higher for u if u go to PSU?</p>

<p>I have just been accepted to Texas Tech to, and I am majoring in civil engineering. GO Raiders</p>

<p>Penn State U.-U Park and Texas Tech, either school would be good and same social aspects. but, if you concern about rankings go to Penn State. Look for financial aid first and go for better financial aid.</p>
