[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For engineering at Berkeley or Michigan, yes. Otherwise, you're probably objectively overpaying--but whether it's still "worth it" to you is a personal question.[/quote]

This is truly the dumbest thing I have read on here. [b]The curriculum for engineering is essentially the same across all schools[/b]. One of the best engineers in my PhD program got his undergraduate degree at JMU. He was far brighter and more creative than the guy with a undergrad from MIT. The rankings mean something for graduate school, not undergraduate.[/quote]

lol give me break[/quote]

It’s true, they all teach to ABET standards and not much more.[/quote]

business finance and accounting are taught the same as well. So what?  Top schools are just more prestigious among top companies and employers which matters.  They just do it better and you are being taught by the top professors in their fields while learning together with some of the brightest minds within in your fellow student peer group at these top schools.  These bright minds end up being the most recruited and working for top companies and there is your network. So, there is a difference.

I wasn't in engineering, but better than half of the things I remember from college I learned from my peers, not in class. Even if MIT does teach the exact same curriculum as JMU, which I doubt, you're still surrounded by MIT kids, which means you're doing your extracurricular learning from better sources.[/quote]
