Question about Princeton's engineering

<p>I put BSE in Computer Science as my major in the Princeton app. Besides the fact that engineering at Princeton is highly theoretical, I don't know much about it at all. Does anyone have any opinion on this?</p>

<p>Master's program of pton in CS is awesome, but for undergrad, try to go to MIT ot UCIC!</p>

<p>They are a lil better than pton for CS undergrad.</p>

<p>But still most students transfer from MIT to Pton for undergrad because MIT's curriculum is kinda tough than pton's.</p>

<p>Princeton doesn't accept transfers.</p>

<p>iam talkin bout master's program, most ppl chose pton over MIT for undergrad just bcoz of easier curriculum</p>

<p>Princeton Engineering is a fine program; claiming a program is more 'theoretical' then another is somewhat arbitrary. Certainly, a program more focused on theory will do a better job preparing you for graduate school (which is VERY theoretical) then a more applied program. </p>

<p>The E-Quad is a nice enough building, and the engineering library is very nice. Overall, it's a fun place to do engineering. There are more graduate students in that school then any other program on campus, and we tend to socialize a lot with each other (honestly I, like most other graduate students, don't know much about the undergraduate world; I guess you just go to your eatting club after class?).</p>

<p>Honestly, it doesn't really matter where you go for an undergraduate degree in engineering unless it's not accreditted or REALLY poor in quality. You're not getting cheated out of any education because you chose to go to Princeton over MIT.</p>

<p>My interviewer said that Princeton CS is theoretical, which is the opposite of what I've been doing (highly practical). It'd be great to know a little of both.</p>
