<p>Someone told me that
RPI = bored,don't have things to do on campus, but good at engineering ( is it matter with physics ?)
Lehigh = party school, small
I want to get into top grad school; which one is better?</p>
<p>The short answer is that it probably does not matter as the major factor to getting into a good graduate program is how YOU do in your undergraduate program. The courses are likely to be pretty much the same and each wil prepare you well for a graduate program if you take them seriously and get good grades.</p>
<p>That being said, other factors can influence where you go to graduate school. The most important one is research experience. If one school is more of a research oriented university, it may provide you more opportunities to get involved with research and obtain the experience you need. However, most good programs have research opportunities for their undergraduates now even though they might not be on funded projects with a team of graduate students.</p>
<p>Go to the one that fits you better in all aspects of university life, take your studies seriously and get involved in research. Then you will have lots of opportunities.</p>
<p>Thanks man</p>
