Which Engineering schools are so hard that it's no fun?

I honestly don’t think that the “hard to get into” schools are harder to graduate from than the “easy to get into” schools.

<p>bigtrees, I know I disagree with you on a lot of things, but I actually think you may not be too far off on this one. It would be interesting to see the stats for engineering graduates at some of the more renowned state schools vs. some of the more renowned private schools. I bet those graduates have a lot closer stats to the MIT graduates than the two groups of matriculants do, not that it matters at that point.</p>

I went through a tough engineering program and also had a great social life…let me clarify: an unbelievably truly great social life…</p>

<p>how?</p>

<p>I guess when I really think about it, maybe lack of sleep helped out…

<p>Same here! It helped being a girl! The guys (and a few girls) in my major were great. We all studied together during the week and partied on the weekends. I worked my butt off, but still had a great time. I’m wondering if it will be the same for my son, though, studying BME. Wow, the curriculum looks intense! I guess it’s a good thing I went to school 30 years ago, lol.</p>

Your confusing “hard to get into” with “hard to graduate from”.</p>
