Help me to choose an Aeronautical Engineering School Please

AI Thread Summary
Choosing an aeronautical engineering school involves considering several factors, including academic reputation, financial implications, and geographical preferences. The discussion highlights several top institutions: Imperial College London, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Purdue, University of Illinois at Urbana, UC Davis (noted for offering a scholarship), UC San Diego, and the University of Virginia. Georgia Tech is recognized as a leading choice, even above Purdue and Illinois, which are also highly regarded. The importance of financial aid and location is emphasized, with some participants suggesting UC Davis due to the scholarship opportunity. Concerns about the livability of Atlanta are mentioned, indicating that while academics are crucial, the surrounding environment also plays a significant role in the decision-making process.

Help me to choose an Aeronautical Engineering School Please!

Hello everyone!

I am currently on my final year in high school and I am trying to choose between colleges which accepted me to study aeronautical engineering.
I will be glad if you can advise me. My choices are Imperial College London in UK; UCLA, Georgia Tech, Purdue, Illinois at Urbana, UC Davis( with scholarship), UC San Diego and University of Virginia.

I really need opinions on this subject! Thank you!

Having no knowledge about the UK school, I would heavily lean towards the University of Illinois or Purdue; both are exceptional engineering schools. Georgia Tech is even above both of schools, though. It seems that you have a lot of options - are finances a problem? Does geographical location matter?
 
I'd go to Davis if that is the only place you have a scholarship.

Everybody says that Atlanta is a boring city even if academics is the most important factor for me location is crucial too.

What about UCLA?
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
