<p>Would love opinions on Purdue versus Ohio State. Both are out of state but Ohio State with scholarships is almost half the cost. I know Purdue is ranked higher for Engineering but if he decides to change major to Business I think Fisher is a better business school. Thoughts?</p>
<p>I’m an engineering physics major at OSU and I like it. But I’m more in physics than I am in engineering. The only thing I’d say is steer clear of OSU’s aerospace department. Apart from that it’s a great engineering college.</p>
<p>TomServo, can you expand on your “steer clear of OSU aerospace” comment? We are in Ohio and my son is considering aero so of course, OSU is on his list. Thanks!</p>
<p>Nobody ever has anything nice to say about it. The teachers are insane/terrible. The sequencing and scheduling of classes is a mess, etc. I rarely come across an aero major but when I do they have some gripe. In at least one case it was an ex-aero major.</p>
<p>IIRC, University of Cincinnati’ aero department is well-regarded.</p>
<p>My son is not majoring in Aero, any other opinions?</p>
<p>It’s a good place to study engineering, but Columbus is flat, boring, cold in Winter, dumpy, etc. I don’t think of it as a place to live, just a place to finish my BS.</p>
<p>It’s a very good school for mech eng especially, if for no other reason than the size of the program and the many mech eng recruiters who come here.</p>
