[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier but I want to add. I’m the one that posted about my experience of taking engineering at a school less known for engineering because I thought I’d be happier there.

The engineering is fine. But. There are a lot of engineering majors. Someone on this thread earlier said engineers don’t change majors as much. That’s only partly true. There are a lot of majors within engineering at a large engineering school. You can almost have no idea what kind of engineer you want to be when you decide to become an engineer. Many majors are closely related. Easy to switch between as you learn more. IF you go to a school with a lot of engineering options. If you are at a liberal arts school that has engineering, you will likely have very few options. Just Mech, Chem, Civ, Elec, maybe environment and CS. But not much else. And fewer electives within engineering. It’s definitely worth carefully thinking of that. There are a lot of great schools out there. I wish I had had any kind of guidance at all. [/quote]
