ok, so i'm looking for a good engineering college, i know absolutely nothing of colleges, the only decient ones i know of are purdue (sp?) and colorado school of mines. i'm thinking about EE as the major, but not entirely sure about that, suggestions? My grades for reference.

thanks for the suggestions, lemme know if there's anything you need to know that i'm missing

edit: i pretty much think that cisco is out, so disreguard the link except my grades

Purdue?

If you're a senior in HS, I would talk with counselors

 

[Kishan]

if you have amazing grades, Carnegie Mellon- ask vshah. He graduated from there with an EE. Also have a friedn going to University of Maryland College Park- he says its a great mix of everything while being a very good school, socially and academically.

i am probably going to be asking the same question in a year or so, so it would be great if anybody could tell me any good colleges for engineering in the western US, most preferably as close to Salt Lake as possible.

My friend is currently going to Caltech, says it's very good.

 

[CarlKillerMiller]

Try UIUC.

If you're looking into mining, I hear that Missouri-Rolla is tops.

 

[Chronoshock]

I like MIT a lot, you should apply there. Work is tough but there are some great people there (professors/TA's/students) and so much to learn

Perdue sounds like it would be fun :evil:

 

[TuxDave]

MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, UIUC, Caltech for top top top notch schools

Purdue, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Texas (A&M or Tech.. can't recall), for very good schools.
