<p>And about the "household name" thing, I'm really talking about the east coast. Here, it's hard to find an engineer that didnt go to Cornell, MIT, Princeton, CMU, RPI, University of Rochester, SUNY Binghamton, and so forth. In New York, alot of people are likely to say "harvey what????"

<p>Well, again, then by your logic, then why not just go to Harvard or Yale? If there are 2 schools in the world that EVERYBODY has heard of, it's Harvard and Yale. Furthermore, Harvard and Yale engineering are significantly better than the engineering at some of the other schools you mentioned, like SUNY-Binghamton and the University of Rochester. I believe that USNews ranks Harvard engineering somewhere in the 20's, and Yale is somewhere in the 40's whereas SUNY-Binghamton is somewhere in the 90's and University of Rochester is somewhere in the 70's. And you would have all of the English and Psychology and poli-sci that you would ever want by going to Harvard or Yale.</p>
