USC vs. Michigan vs. Texas

[Anonymous]

Texas, although I’m biased as an Austin native. I really can’t imagine anywhere better to spend four years!

So essentially they are all tied.

Then you don't understand the formula behind the ranking.

USC no. So not worth the money, even for families that can easily afford.

Michigan YES
Texas fine as well, but Michigan has better career center.

Look up how hard it is at each school to change majors just in case.

By the rankings, VTech engineering is #13 and Harvard is #25, so you choose VTech over Harvard? That would be some news.

Completely different situation and irrelevant to the topic at hand.

And employers don't care where you went to school once you have some experience, so it doesn't matter as much as the nerd crowd would like you to believe.

Disagree. It's part of your overall portfolio and people hire their own kind.

Michigan and Texas are among the best engineering schools in the country. Much better than USC. Go with either of those — Michigan if you don’t mind cold, Texas if you want warm.

Interested in pursing the major? They need to be accepted INTO the major. That's the absolute most important. They go where they are accepted.

DC was accepted into the engineering schools of all three.

ahhh, then Michigan or Texas unless they want to settle on the West Coast and then the choice wouldn't be so much re: strength of the engineering program but more about happiness and familiarity.

They are ranked #2, #6 and #7 ... so the rankings are not really that different.
