<p>I'd like to have your ideas since it's a UM tread- I am an international student and have to pay almost same tuition for both school, (over $40,000-) and I am interesting in engineering. Your opinions PLEASE!! (sorry it's a same posting at college admission)</p>
<p>My friends at Carnegie Mellon don't really enjoy the atmosphere there. I personally love ann arbor</p>
<p>Academically, they are equal (in Engineering), but CMU has slightly more personalized Freshman and Sophomore classes whereas the University of Michigan/Ann Arbor are more pleasant and more fun than CMU/Pittsburgh. I would chose Michigan over CMU, but it really depends on the individual. I agree with Matt. I have known several CMU students and they never really seemed to enjoy their experience.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. Can anyone tell me which one is a more respected school? In terms of prestige, education, job placement, campus life, and reputation,which one is the best overall? Which one would you go to? I'm really at a loss as to which one I want to go to.</p>
<p>Michigan's reputation is more wide-ranging. Outside of the Engineering/Computer Science world, CMU's reputation is very limited. Michigan has a reputation accross all disciplines. </p>
<p>But since you are interested in Engineering, I'd say the two universities are equal in terms of reputation, job placement and education. </p>
<p>However, as I mentioned above, in some ways, such as personalized attention for Freshmen and Sophomores, CMU does have an edge over Michigan. </p>
<p>In terms of campus life, Michigan is, in most ways, superior to CMU.</p>
<p>"Outside of the Engineering/Computer Science world, CMU's reputation is very limited."
and business -_- tepper is on par with ross, and in some cases, such as computational finance, ahead of ross</p>
<p>That's right bearcats. Tepper is excellent. I don't think it is quite as good as Ross though. When it comes to Finance, Accounting, Marketing or Management, Ross is considered a notch above.</p>
<p>that's right alexandre. but i think the focus is different for ross and tepper. Tepper is more quantitative based. Their strength lies in operations, computational finance, business modelling and management information systems...while ross i think is more on soft skills and theories, and obviously, better at finance, marketing and accounting.</p>
<p>^ Exactly .</p>
