CP for Electrical Engineering and Northeastern for Electrical and Computer Engineering.

I'm mainly looking at this from a major, campus, and prestige perspective. Ik Northeastern has a "higher prestige" on paper, but Cal Poly is ultimately more suited for engineering. I'm just curious how others would decide. Thank you

for engineering, I’d go cal poly. I literally love that school. It was my top choice back when I lived in Cali and could afford it lol

# sharp wren Oo alr tyty. What would you say most attracted you to the school?

honestly, price for in state compared to the value of their engineering degree was a big factor. beyond that, I could just see myself there. the campus (from dorms, to classrooms, to location) is gorgeous which might seem like a superficial reason to be drawn to a school, but my environment definitely impacts my work output.

#

I just can’t rly afford it anymore lol so NEU for me 🙂

#

Cal poly students especially engineering are so desired by employers here because of their learn by doing approach

#

While UC’s cover the more theoretical side of it

#

Employers want people that can hit the ground running
