<p>I have been accepted to five school each with a reputable engineering programs, Purdue, Rutgers, Stevens, RPI,and Penn state. In terms of finances from highest cost to lowest they rank Penn State, RPI, Purdue, Stevens, and Rutgers. I live in NJ and my ultimate goal is to work in the Aerospace Field. I was wondering what the thoughts are on what I should choose.</p>
<p>aerospace or any other type of engineering, i would say from your list, Purdue is the best bet. i would visit campus first and see how you like it, if possible. some people hate the place while other people love it. but if money is a problem, i wouldn’t say Rutgers is a undesirable place to be.</p>
<p>Definitely Penn State - Great engineering there with a fantastic alumni network.</p>
<p>I’d go with Putgers… :)</p>
<p>I would go to Purdue, Penn St or Rutgers and take the BEST financial package.</p>
<p>Purdue, Penn State and Rutgers are on the same level, not quite different.
RPI is not worth the money.</p>
<p>Go to Rutgers since you are in New Jersey and save money for your graduate school.</p>
<p>I’d say Rutgers, because it’s affordable. My brother is in their engineering program right now and he loves it.</p>
<p>Well Rutgers’ Engineering program is ranked 50 something whereas Purdue is 9</p>
<p>Yeah but the money is much better at Rutgers and its not like Rutgers is Putz U. It is a GREAT school. Don’t get caught up in the hype of rankings.</p>
<p>Id be curious to hear where you decided to go because in my opinion RPI is the best value, you are definitely nost likely to get a job coming out of there than anywhere else</p>
