UVA vs. Carnegie Mellon

<p>Confused over which school to go to....Everyone is telling me Carnegie for some reason which i do not know... I am not sure which has the better engineering school...and how much to account for the financial aspect...UVa is instate tuition while Carnegie means work-study and loans and debt...What should I do</p>

<p>CMU is surely better for engineering (i am fairly certain). If you dont have a real favorite (and it doesn't sound like you do) go for UVA, although I personally think CMU is worth dabt and work-study. Go into debt over college only if it is worth it to you to attend that college...</p>

<p>Go to UVA.</p>

<p>I picked CMU Business over UVA business and I would do the same for Engineering. The reasons are in the job opps/salaries as well as rankings and prestige.</p>

<p>It is not unusual to pick Virginia Tech over UVA for engineering and according to my old friends about half of them did (those that were concentrated on engineering). Therefore I would definitely recommend Carnegie Mellon for engineering over both UVA and VTech.</p>

<p>Thanks...still haven't decided I think I have like what 3 days left..haha..But thanks.</p>

<p>although CMU is definitely better than UVA for engineering, i dont think its worth tons of debt because Virginia is still very respected in the business/engineering world.</p>
