Default Re: British Mech Eng Student - Year in the US

Heres a breakdown for you...
- UC is probably the best location, but which campus? (there are MANY UC locations, Berkeley and LA probably being the best)
-GIT... never heard of it, DONT GO
-U Illnois.. is an OK school
-PSU is literally in the middle of nowhere, but the social life is great, especially in the fall with football(American style).. one of my friends currently goes, you'd enjoy it
-Rensselaer is 70% guys, and most people are in frats.. also located in the middle of nowhere in upstate New York (very cold in winter.. one of my friends also goes there)

Cliff Notes: either go to UC (depending on which campus) or go to PSU.... both are gonna have frats but UC has a better engineering program, although Rensselaers is also very good but you will hate the social life
