[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clarkson vs Columbia ..... Seriously?

Columbia is a better engineering school.  Plus, if you decide you do not want to be an engineer your whole life you are well positioned for B school and law school.  Also, there is a much wider range of job opportunities coming out of Columbia.  For on campus recruiting we had not only all the top tech companies come on campus but also the investment banks and mgmt consulting firms.

With the 3/2 program you get a BA and a BS, which means you have to take the core humanities classes as well as core engineering. 3/2 has done me very well and I would highly recommend it.[/quote]

Perhaps start by comparing Clarkson to the liberal arts component of the 3/2.  I promise you that you'll learn more about engineering at Clarkson.  It's a totally immersive environment with great faculty and cutting edge research.  After a great undergrad experience, you can go on to get your MS in 18 months at Columbia or the ilk on a fully funded TA or RA.  I also know many who also went on to top law or business programs.  No problem.

If you want to talk about Faust or Chaucer with your suitmates over dinner, then go to the SLAC.  If you want to spend dinner hours brainstorming the next winning solar race car design or debating the tipping point at which battery power will take over the car industry, go to Clarkson.  [/quote]
