<p>that's not really a contest. UCSD and Hopkins, there's an interesting discussion.</p>

<p>How so? I am sorry but I am not sure about mechanical engineering because I heard UCSB has a good mechanical engineering....</p>

<p>UCSB is good, sure, but if there's no financial issues, Hopkins is the clear winner, IMO...</p>

<p>OP -- my apology, I completely misread your original post... I thought I read "biomedical engineering"...</p>

<p>For ME, I'd view them equally. I just looked up their NRC rankings, and UCSB is #41 and Hopkins is #48.</p>

<p>Price no object I'd pick Hopkins, because of its smaller size, and generally higher level student body. but if you are in CA, I would never be able to justify the $26,000 price difference per year for Hopkins over UCSB (without financial aid).</p>
