As an undergrad going into aerospace engineering, which of these 7 colleges would be the best to attend?

Question

SUNY Buffalo, Rutgers, Penn State, RPI, Syracuse, WPI, BU.

I'm not going to get into MIT or EMbry-Riddle, so are these some good schools for that major in the northeast? Which has the best program?

Answer 1

On a list from PayScale.com ranking engineering colleges by salary potential, WPI and RPI rank 6th and 8th:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) $72,200

California Institute of Technology (CIT) $75,500

Harvey Mudd College $71,800

Answer 2

I'd go with SUNY Buffalo, Rutgers or RPI. I was a mechanical at SUNY Buffalo and apart from a semester or so of extra classes for the aeros (and different electives), the curriculum for the 2 majors are the same and was very good. You also have undergraduate research projects available and wind tunnels for use at SUNY Buffalo. Not sure about the other 2 for that aspect. Rutgers should be good as well and RPI is great for technical sciences but is a little on the pricey side.
