I have heard that the education and opportunities (internship, clubs, research, job placement, grad school) are equally available and valuable at Duke as they are at UMich. My main doubt in making this decision (aside from the factors I may be accidentally overlooking) is whether the pros (which appear to be manifold) offered by Duke are worth it in return for the considerably worse engineering ranking. I can see myself at both of these schools, but at the moment, given the mentioned pros, Duke seems to be the better fit for me. Breadth in engineering education (into humanities).(The cost of attendance will be very similar for both, and I am out of state for Umich) I will list them below but feel free to correct me, as many of you will likely have more experience than me on the subject. I am currently deciding between Duke or Umich, and as I see it, both have advantages and disadvantages. For a minor, I am planning on philosophy, although I would also enjoy studying psychology and economics. I would not like to work as an engineer for the rest of my life, but seeking an engineering degree (most likely an electrical or mechanical) interests me due to the flexibility of the major later in my career, from what I’ve heard. I’m interested in pursuing an engineering undergrad, but I would like to move into management later.
