As a soon to be graduating degree holder of electrical and computer engineering you could always just listen to what
these jerks have to say.ORRRRRRRSearch out a decent state school and go check it out. The top 10 are great schools, but in reality for undergraduate engineering education you will be learning the exact same core material no matter what school you go to. If you think you'd be interested in undergraduate research (read: lab rat) then you need to consider what fields of computer engineering you are most interested in. Every school has different research specializations and even though a school may not be top ranked overall it may have a very prestigious professor doing research there. If not, there are schools that focus more on teaching than research. These may be a better fit for you if you need a lot of helpful interaction with professors. Honestly, a lot of research professors do not give one damn about the classes or students they teach.
So what I am saying is go wherever the hell you want. If you get accepted to a top tier school
and like the campus when you visit then good for you.
