Well, I am a MechE undergrad here at the U of M. When it was time to go to college, it was between NDSU and U of M for me, although I didnt think I had any shot at getting into IT here at U of M so I pretty much applied just to see how I would do. Well sure enough, like 3 months later I got accepted into the IT here at the U. That was a difficult decision. Both the U and NDSU have good, reputable engineering programs. Then my brother gave me some advice. As he put it, it would be fairly easy to transfer out of the U into NDSU if I didnt like the U but going the other way would be much harder. He said, and I believe him, that the quality of education you get here and you will probably be a bit better off with a MechE degree from here than from NDSU. Dont get me wrong, NDSU is a great school but I chose to go here. If I were to do it again though, I would have gone to NDSU for sure. Its a tough choice, but dont let the size of the U be one of the deciding factors. Trust me, after you have wandered around a day or two, the size really shrinks. All your engineering classes will be in the mall area, you wont ever have to set foot on like half of the grounds. Either way good luck man, and if you want to start a car company in oh, say, like 3 years let me know!
