<p>Michigan has an outstanding engineering program but are the professors/ administrators/ etc. geared toward graduate or undergraduate students? </p>
<p>I talked to several students who felt that their prof were more focused on the grad students. Is this true at all major research universities?</p>
<p>Michigan professors are definitely more geared toward graduate students and research. It is true at most major research programs, but some programs, lile Princeton and Rice, are a probably more geared toward undergrads. However, the heavy hitters like Cal, MIT, Stanford, UIUC, Cornell, Michigan, CMU are definitely geared toward graduate students and research.</p>
