<p>So far my top choices are University of Maryland- College Park, University of Rochester, and Lehigh University. I would be paying the same amount for all of those colleges so price isn't a huge factor. I'm also planning to major in computer engineering.</p>
<p>UMCP:
-Great engineering program
-Closer to home and more convenient in terms of travel
-I know quite a few friends who are attending there or are going to be attending there, so I would be a little more comfortable getting used to living there
-It's some metro rides from D.C so trying to get jobs/internships would be a little more convenient
-There's a Living Learning Program that could help with my studies
-Dorms have air conditioning
-A little concerned about its size; it's big and there's a ton of people. Could get lost in the crowd</p>
<p>Lehigh:
-Strong engineering program
-Still relatively close to home, only a couple hours' worth of driving
-I have a close friend who will be attending there
-Smaller so I won't get lost in the crowd
-Dorms aren't air-conditioned
-Lots of hills, lots of uphill walking</p>
<p>University of Rochester:
-Good research university
-Small and I won't get lost in the crowd
-It snows there :D
-Flexible curriculum
-Furthest from home
-Dorms aren't air-conditioned</p>
<p>So which of the three do you people recommend?</p>
