<p>Currently, I'm looking into the UC schools as my main choices, with Stanford and Cornell as reach schools. I want to major in Aerospace engineering, but mechanical may do as well. I saw that Rose-hulman IT was ranked 1st in undergrad engineering in USNWCR, and I want to know how its program compares to UCLA, UCB, and UCSD.</p>
<p>If you can handle Berkeley, RHIT is probably worse. </p>
<p>The program at RH is probably comparable to SD and LA but it is certainly different in that RH is an LAC and you will probably have a different experience with your professors there.</p>
<p>If you can afford it I would probably prefer RH, though if both are ABET certified there shouldn’t be much difference in the curriculum. Have you asked your parents how much they can afford?</p>
