UMich vs. Notre Dame - Engineering Student

<p>I've been searching and searching for an answer to this question and still haven't found one. I've narrowed my college search down to Notre Dame and UMich. There's things I really like and things I don't like about each university, and they're pretty equal in my mind right now. I'm basically having a really tough time deciding between the two.</p>

<p>My major will be engineering, so I was wondering which university would be better for engineering. I specifically want to go into chemE. Also, I want to consider study abroad opportunities (Notre Dame apparently gives grants for this), career opportunities (the Notre Dame network is huge, but I haven't heard as much about UMich career opportunities), and just the universities in general. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.</p>

<p>bump*** i could really use the help!</p>

<p>I think UMich is better for grad school, if that matters? I think Notre Dame might be slightly better though.</p>

<p>Michigan’s Engineering program is extremely high-ranking, and it has been for awhile. The career opportunities are numerous; they have an entire database for Michigan engineers to put up their resume and companies come look on it for prospective employees. They have (at least) two major job fairs per year at the engineering school, plus an entire career center for engineering.</p>

<p>Also, they help you find a co-op program or summer internships. The current students I’ve talked to about it had absolutely NO trouble finding internships for the summer, and all 9 of them have jobs lined up for after they graduate; some with the companies they interned with, and some with new companies they matched up with on the database.</p>
