Purdue or UT Aerospace Engineering?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Purdue University

<p>So I got into both Purdue's Engineering honors program AND UT Austin's engineering honors program, and I want to go for Aerospace Engineering.</p>

<p>I know that Purdue is ranked higher than UT Austin for Aerospace Engineering specifically, but I live in Texas so the OOS tuition cost for Purdue (which has given me practically NO financial aid) would be more than double the in-state tuition cost of UT Austin.</p>

<p>Given this, does the added prestige of a Purdue Aerospace Engineering degree justify double the cost, considering UT Austin's program (Again, Honors as well) is up there near the top as well?</p>

<p>What was your decision? What input did you receive from other sources (since I do not see any replies on this thread…)</p>

<p>Both are peer schools for engineering. UT-Austin is better overall. </p>

<p>If both cost the same then it would be a hard decision but Austin is significantly cheaper. Austin is a no-brainer choice.</p>
