Which college would you go to?

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>If you had to pick from:</p>

<p>Yale
Stanford
UC Berkeley
Cornell
Harvey Mudd</p>

<p>FOR ENGINEERING?</p>

<p>Rank your preference please :)
Comments would be great too!</p>

2

<p>Engineering, definitely Stanford.</p>

3

<p>Stanford! That place is amazing.</p>

<p>Next probably UC Berkeley or Harvey Mudd. Yale isn’t particularly known for its engineering.</p>

<p>Yale. Its engineering department is way underrated, and at the undergraduate level i dont think theres much of a difference between top schools anyway. at Stanford it would be annoying because so many students there also want to do engineering. So yeah i’d say Yale, stanford a little overrated.</p>

<p>For undergrad, you really can’t go wrong with any of them. Ultimately, it comes down to what you want out of a school. If you apply yourself at any of them you will be able to be successful, get a job, go to grad school, etc…</p>

<p>If it were me personally, I would (and did) choose Harvey Mudd (although I was a physics major, not an engineer, but still if I were an engineer, I would definitely still have chosen Mudd over any of those schools). This is because I liked the environment and the core curriculum, faculty attention, etc…</p>

<p>They are all different and unique in their own way (Mudd especially so since it is an undergraduate-only college), so really it comes down to what makes you happy.</p>

6

<p>For engineering, Stanford. For most other things, Yale,</p>

7

<p>I don’t like California, so I would jut not pick any of the UCs or Stanford. Either Cornell or Yale.</p>

8

<p>for engineering, Harvey Mudd, definitely.</p>

9

<p>"For engineering, Stanford. For most other things, Yale, "
lol u joking me? If by “most other things” you mean pure english majors…then sure…other than that, stanford > yale in pretty much all sciences by a large degree.</p>

10

<p>For me, ranked:
Mudd
Stanford
UC Berkeley
Cornell
Yale</p>

<p>I’m going into engineering, considered all of those schools. After my research I decided Mudd was at least for me the best one possible, so I applied ED and got in.</p>

11

<p>Where I’d want to go most, in descending order</p>

<p>Stanford
Yale
Cornell
UC Berkeley
Harvey Mudd</p>

<p>Yale isn’t particularly known for engineering, but I’d go there over Cornell, Cal, and HMC.</p>

12

<p>If I was just choosing between those 5, probably Stanford, though I would want to visit there as well as Harvey Mudd. I guess the order would be:</p>

<p>Stanford
Harvey Mudd
Berkeley
Yale
Cornell</p>

13

<p>Personally I would pick Harvey Mudd. Since it would be far more personal due to its smaller size and liberal arts environments appeal to me.</p>

14

<p>

Yale has 77 majors, of which only 20 grant B.S. degrees. When you take out the 7 engineering majors, there are 57 B.A. majors compared with only 13 B.S. majors. Therefore most majors other than engineering at Yale are not in math or science. </p>

<p>In addition, since the question was “Which college would you go to?” the fact that I would rather go to school in CT than CA makes a difference does it not?</p>

15

<p>Well i think this conversation is pretty trivial. bottom line is if you have an engineering degree from any of these schools you’re in good shape, so who cares. its not like one will give you that much more than the other.</p>

16

<p>Stanford or Berkeley. Both are great school, with good weather! :D</p>

17

<p>

</p>

<p>Ditto .</p>

18

<p>I never heard of HMC, and Yale isn’t renown for their engineering courses, Berkeley is good, and so is Cornell. Stanford I would go there, but it’s just awkward there for me.</p>

<p>So my choice would have to be Cornell :). I love it all cold and icy and not see the ground for most of the year. HURRAY for cold… Too bad I’m stuck in SD for another 4 years before i can go to an area with cold dominates.</p>

19

<p>Stanford for sure. Stanford alums have founded companies like Nike, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, Nvidia, Yahoo!, Cisco Systems, Silicon Graphics and Google.</p>

<p>I’d probably go to Yale for the fun factor. The other 4 schools are serious grinds, at least in engineering.</p>
