<p>oops. Actually UC Santa Barbara is #1 in Materials Engineering, in both the R and S methodologies of the latest NRC report.</p>
<p>Over at USNWR, MIT is the number one grad program: :-)</p>

<p>This is a cool idea and all, but for some reason I think it would be even better if Stanford considered this campus in…Palm Springs!</p>
<p>^^You wouldn’t want to be attending school there in the summer months that’s for sure!</p>
<p>Why create another school on the East Coast-
How about Harvard opens up a campus in Silicon Valley?</p>
<p>UCSB is #1 for materials engineering. I always laugh when people UCSB has only partying to recommend it; there are some superlative, top-ranked departments, there, in a gorgeous setting.</p>
<p>MIT
Purdue
Ga Tech
UC Berkeley
MIT
Stanford
Michigan
UC Santa Barbara</p>
<p>Guess which one is tops, no real debate, consensus #1? Of course it only matters if you are a Materials Engineer, but then again, if you are, it matters everything.</p>
<p>^We already have Caltech in LA. Why is there a need to MIT to establish itself there?</p>
<p>I know. MIT West - School of Humanities :p</p>
