Anyone have any good reasons for going one way or the other? I am starting school in Jan at a jc just to get the Gen Ed out of the way and transfer credits, but I am torn on whether to look at going to a public or private uni.

Cost is not a serious difference as UCLA, Stanford, and USC are all at 36kish/yr.

out of those three i'd most definetely suggest you go to Stanford if thats an option. i'd say Stanford has a better reputation academically alhtough i'm sure some people will disagree with me.

Whoever has the reputation in the course you want to do.

It all depends on the field, but in my case that would be 100% true.

Well I am already aware of that, but I was just curious as if anyone knows anything that would sway me either way. USC, UCLA, Stanford, CalPoly San Louis Obispo, UC Berkely, SDSU, etc all have a very high reputation for MechEng majors. That is a mix of private and public in that list. They all have quite comprehensive programs too. Was looking at them all last night.

If you can afford it, go private. If not, go public.

That is the thing, cost wise they are basically the same.

Stanford, if you consider all the fees (they also include a 12k housing figure in this fee) is 52k. UCLA, not including housing, is 38k. They are basically the same. So cost is kind of moot between them.

This is not an option for an engineer.

If cost isn't an issue then I would say go to the best school out of the list. At least from what I've seen personally here in Texas that seems to be the biggest issue, for instance I paid 3.5K per semester for tutition alone at UT (public school) but at Rice per semester you're talking 15K/semester.

Also another thing is that if you have free rent at a school nearby, then go there because having bills is never fun (i.e., parents).

Well I will have to finance this (fucking practically taking out a damn mortgage for some areas of the US!) but being that the area I am considering specializing in (Nuclear MechEng) makes a boat load (really any MechEng specialty makes a boat load) I am not worried about that.
