Stevens vs Rutgers for Engineering

[ramzee]

<p>Hey everyone. I know there probably already are a few threads on this site comparing Rutgers and Stevens, but I'm looking to compare them based only on academics and research. I don't care much about student life, tuition, etc.. </p>

<p>I'm going to be studying Biomedical Engineering this fall. Unfortunately, I was rejected from the Ivies, so these two are my best options. Which one do you think has better research and academics? I hope to either transfer or get my masters from a high ranking school (Stanford, MIT, maybe an Ivy), so which of these do you think will help me most in that pursuit? And which do you think has a better Honors Program? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Rutgers is huge, Stevens is small. They both have good research opportunities and career advising. Rutgers classes are pretty huge until you get to be a senior, Stevens classes are not as large. Both have a mix of really good and ok professors (I have sons at each). </p>

<p>I think the honors program is what you make it. You are given opportunities but you have to go after them. Which is giving you more money? </p>
