I’m having trouble deciding between these two colleges. On one hand, I live basically 20 minutes out of Pittsburgh currently and feel like I’d enjoy the city life more. However, I’m looking into going into Mechanical Engineering and was wondering how significant the difference between the schools are academically in this field. Would I have access to a similar number of opportunities? Could I end up in the same level of career with either school. The financial aid is only about a $1,000 difference including loans and not factoring in external scholarships. Also, I don’t care about the sports or school spirit. Thanks.

@fading scarab I would lean UPitt if you feel like you'd like the environment more
