<p>I am currently a freshman student in Michigan State University and no preference engineering major with intent in majoring in either Mechanical engineering or Computer Science.</p>
<p>I am considering transferring to another university with a better engineering program.
So far I am considering Texas A&M and University of Minnesota- Twin Cities.</p>
<p>So I was wondering if it really was worth it to transfer to these universities from my current one?
Any other universities I should look at?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Have you considered what the net cost difference would be if you transferred?</p>
<p>Michigan State is a perfectly respectable university for engineering.</p>
<p>It will cost me less to transfer to Minnesota(~36K) and Texas A&M(~38K) than MSU(~34K).</p>
<p>You are out-of-state for all three? (Though Minnesota’s out-of-state list price appears to be more like $30k, not $36k.)</p>
<p>It may be worth the hassle of transferring for the lower cost, with slightly higher reputation to go along with it. But reputation rankings do not mean everything – check to see if any of the schools has better offerings in the subareas you are interested in each major, and whether it is in a location where you may want to work (many companies, especially smaller ones, do favor recruiting at local universities).</p>
<p>Actually I am an International Student so yeah :)</p>
<p>Well I don’t really have any places in mind but I believe Texas A&M has pretty good reputation for recruiting.</p>
<p>BUMP…</p>
<p>Would really appreciate someone else’s opinion</p>
