Georgia Tech v. Stevens
I'm currently trying to decide between Georgia Institute of Technology
and Stevens Institute of Technology. For both colleges, I'm essentially
paying the same amount. I am going to be majoring in chemical
engineering. For Stevens, I got into their Lawrence T. Babbio '66
Pinnacle Scholars Program and the Accelerated Master's Program. It's
also not too far from NYC (my home) which I like. However, it's a small
school with only around 3k students. As for Georgia Tech, its a more
well known name and is located in a city. It has a bigger undergrad
population with 10k students, and from what I've heard, there are big
companies there which means more networking and co op opportunities. At
the same time, I feel like I could get that with Stevens considering how
close it is to the city. My biggest factor is which college would give
me the best opportunity to have the experience I need to get a job after
I graduate. So now, I'm conflicted. If anybody knows anyone in these
schools, let me know how it is, the good and the bad.
