<p>I am deciding between a few colleges that i got in to. Should I go to San Diego State University or Michigan State University. I got into both engineering programs. I am completely 50 50 on which to go to. I love both places so i pretty much no idea on how to choose where to go. Help!!!!!!</p>
<p>First of all do you want four months of snow or 12 months of sun?</p>
<p>You know what, I have grown up surfing and longboard skateboarding, but i am willing to take the change on so i guess i could like the snow. I mean i do go snowboarding every winter, but thats for a week, not 12....hahahaha.....in addition both sides of my family are from michigan so i go back there every summer, not winter......hahah....so ya i guess i have to make a huge descion. Do you think Michigan state is a better school then San Diego state. I know they are both not the best schools in the nation but they are somewhere i can get in. What do you think?</p>
<p>Michigan State offers a well-respected undergrad engineering education. Undergrads are given all kinds of opportunities. You can work on your own original research, directly supervised by a professor, by simply asking. You can gain work experience through their co-op program. They have the #1 study abroad program in the country (in terms of percentage of students who participate). Also a very social student body. There's no shortage of parties Wednesday through Saturday. Beautiful campus, etc...</p>
<p>sdsu , cant beat ca.</p>
<p>dtshen........... growing up in socal i understand how awesome it is, but i do question how good of an engineering school sdsu has, compared to michigan state....or does it not matter?</p>
<p>It depends on your goals. Either school will probably get you a similar paying job after graduation. I would say MSU is more widely recruited geographically speaking though. If you know you want to live in the southwest, then SDSU is good bet. If you don't really have a preference or want to keep your options open, MSU may be better. If you're thinking of grad school, I would say MSU would be better for that as well.</p>
<p>i agree with what sptkt said, if you are thinking of grad school maybe msu would be slightly better, grad school as in MS not MBA</p>
<p>smitty, my advice to you is this because i made the same mistake </p>
<p>i chose the best ranked engineering school i could go to, Purdue.</p>
<p>however, the pboelem i face now is trying to find a job in california. If you goto msu, itu will most likely be faced with a lot of employers in the midwest. i duno about you but after being in the midwest ,i gained full appreciation of life in CA , and i know its where i want to be after graduation, however expensive cost of living is. </p>
<p>if i went to san jose state university, i'd proobably get a similar paying job, i'd have more fun, i'd probably work less hard in my classes, and i'd have an easier time finding a job in CA, i believe. </p>
<p>trust me, ranking is not everything.</p>
<p>if u were really interested in a good eningeering program that is nothard to get in, try purdue, its quite easy</p>
<p>sdsu has some really hot girls, goto sdsu have fun there and get a good gpa</p>
<p>ya thats another thing you talk about.....i did get into San Jose State, but i just assumed that SDSU is a better school. Is my assumption correct???? and also what is the advantage of getting a masters???? should i consider that....maybe even get a masters in buisness administartion???? Would that be a wise choice??</p>
<p>if u think sdsu > sjsu in terms of engineering, u have not done ur research at all</p>
<p>really!!!!!!!!!!! ill check into that.....thanks.......what do you think of it as an engineering school?????</p>
