Purdue v. Penn state v. Virginia tech

<p>I am an international applicant wanting to pursue chemical engineering.
I have been accepted at Purdue University,Penn state,Virginia tech,Colorado Boulder,Arizona State ,Ohio state(with scholarship)</p>

<p>Need help regarding which university i should attend</p>

<p>Virginia tech probably best engineering school on the list.</p>

<p>I’d say Penn state or virginia tech are your best bets.</p>

<p>^^^^Purdue is the best engineering school on that list.</p>

<p>Overall engineering: </p>

<p>Purdue is also ranked 12th in chemical engineering at the undergraduate level by USNWR for 2012.</p>

<p>Pretty close–OSU with money might be best bang for buck-eye.</p>

<p>Which of those is most likely to get you a job in your home country after graduation? Ask around, and see if anyone there cares. If they are all the same for employment purposes, it is fine to choose the least expensive one. Run all of the financial information here, and see if there is much of a difference: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid)</p>

<p>@rjk VaTech is 13 on that list and Penn State is 17, so the difference is minute when it comes to engineering. However for as a school as a whole, Penn State is 45, VaTech is 71, Purdue is 62.</p>

<p>“Virginia tech probably best engineering school on the list.”</p>

<p>ArKhAik: I was just refuting the comment by jetsfan289. You snuck your remarks in just before mine. ;-)</p>

<p>I want to major in chemical engineering.</p>
