<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>I've been accepted into University of Pennsylvania, ETH Zurich and University of Toronto for their graduate program in Electrical Engineering. </p>
<p>Really confused about where I should go! Any thoughts/suggestions/information on student life in these universities would be appreciated :)</p>
<p>hey ninja26,</p>
<p>well, of the three universities you named ETH Zurich is BY FAR the best one, especially if you consider engineering. According to the Times Higher Education rankings, it’s 9th in the world:

<p>As for student life, the competition is high and you should be prepared to work really hard. However, to be able to study with Europe’s top students pays it off. </p>
<p>hope this helps.</p>
<p>UPenn is not particularly strong for graduate engineering. Both ETHZ and Toronto are fine, but ETHZ probably has better resources.</p>
<p>ETH is the strongest technically, and also appears to be the best cultural opportunity, at least if you are from North America.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot guys, for your suggestions! I have decided to go to ETH Zurich and will be starting this September :)</p>
<p>Sweet! You won’t regret it. ETHZ is where a lot of mankind’s wealth of knowledge of physics came from. They have star studded math/physics/engineering faculty - not to mention how awesome of a country Switzerland is.</p>
<p>Hi ninja26,
If you’re still active, could you comment here or PM me about the applications process you took to enter ETH Zurich? Is it difficult? I seem to have a similar set of schools as you do. thanks!</p>
