They probably have a better English department as well.

Nope, try again. All the Ivy League schools with engineering programs have good engineering programs, especially Cornell, Harvard, and Columbia.

I think that Brown is the worst Ivy League.

I agree

They're great schools for many disciplines. Just look at the US News rankings for engineering grad programs.

Cornell: 10
Princeton: 18
Columbia: 19
Harvard: 23
UPenn: 29
Yale: 37
Dartmouth: 47

Some of those rankings are impressive because they have a smaller engineering budget, but still manage to rank well because they excel in their fields.

Those ratings are screwed. UDEL is 14 slots below VTech? LOL. My classmates and I are designing Sequential Logic Circuits while my friends at VTech are still in their "intro to engineering" courses. Granted, VTech produces more Engineering Degrees, and their department is about 3x larger then ours, but still.

Graduate school is a completely different ballgame.

oh. Grad School. NVM

Seriously, after reading up on "Liberty" university, what's the difference between them and Taliban University or Islamic University? These guys aren't polar opposites, they are different sides of the same coin.

They're not teaching them that blowing up Muslim kids will send you to heaven?

Not that I agree with a lot of what they teach, but I'd rather deal with fanatical Christians then fanatical Muslims.

The bolded word should have been spelled as decent.

I could be wrong, but isn't it usually fanatical Christians who end up bombing abortion clinics?

Not that I'm saying those activities are at all indicative of the Christian religion or culture as a whole, but I'd prefer not to deal with fanatics of any kind.

As for Cornell, I know a few people in grad school here at LSU who went there, and they've mentioned similar issues...although they both seem to have enjoyed their time there.

I don't remember any Islamic university supporting suicide bombing. But they do support: no drinking; no mixing of the sexes; and NO DANCING.

It's descent, but it can't meet Cornell's #10.
Also, best school for grad is not always the best for undergrad. Some schools focus on graduate education and research, and not undergrad education.
Having gone to #10 school on that list for BSEE and #2 for MSEE, I can tell you that after Cornell's undergrad, Stanford's MSEE program is pretty easy, and in many cases a refresher course.

LOL @ the constant spelling mistakes (even after having it pointed out no less) from kids trying to prove how good their schools are. :laugh:

Ummmm... MIT? Caltech?

They are Ivy League now? That's news to me.

what defines a college as "ivy league"?

Um....the definition is that it's in the Ivy League

A little circular, I know, but there's no simpler way to describe it

What's with VMI on that list? It's a MILITARY ACADAMY. Self-Abuse? Hazing? It's called TRAINING.

Besides, I know a few people who go there, and they love it. They're also some of the best people I've ever met.

They're comparing it to other military academies...

Did NYU Stern made it in the list? Too lazy to flip through the pages.

Why would it?

This is true... someone posted a thread about pensacola over at SA and it actually sounds worse than liberty. An amazing feat really.

[oogabooga]

surprising a discussion about worst colleges and universities has

1) people who don't know what the ivy-league is
2) turned into a discussion about fundy christians. Man, some hatred extends everywhere i guess
