Hi guys,

I'm a high school senior, and am currently weighing my options for undergraduate study in electrical/computer engineering. I've received offers of admission from-

Georgia Tech
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign (+ James honor program)
Carnegie Mellon
University of Texas - Austin

I'm interested in microarchitecture, but that might change by the time I get my bachelors degree.

How good are the undergrad programs at these colleges, and how good are the facilities, undergrad research opportunities etc?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The first three are excellent; CMU in particular is known for its computer science and engineering program.
 
Canergie Mellon is excellent for computer science.
 
Thanks for the quick responses guys.

Any idea on how well CMU fares against UIUC for semiconductor electronics, etc?
