University

Post by srachit »

Which country according to you is a better place to do undergraduation?
I just got a call from UNiversity of San Diego saying that I have been given admission! :D

Now I also have admission in the following universities:
US:
university of San Diego
Rosehulman Institute of Technology

UK:
University of Manchester
University of Southampton
University of Bristol
University of Edinburg

Now I'm doing Computer Engineering in the US and I have applied for EEE in UK( UK doesnt have a good computer engineering course), now I'm confused which university I should go to and which will be more impressive when I go for a job interview, anyone have any experience with any university or any HR history to know which university HR people like?

Thanks

I can recommend the IT-University of Copenhagen, have a look http://itu.dk/en/Uddannelser :). There is btw no fees for EU students.

You are wanting to build computers? In the US, that is what Computer Engineering means, while Computer Science is mostly focused on making software.

Well kinda yes, it is only my undergraduation that is why I have picked computer engineering, it has a bit of programming involved aswell (java programming, C++ for embedded systems, Assembly etc) and I can learn a language on my own aswell, this I feel will give me a good foundation in computers, and I hope to follow it up with a degree in artificial intelligence.

Where are you doing your degree from? Any idea which is a preferred country for education US or UK? I heard job opportunities in UK suck, but the teaching is better, while US provides more job and startup opportunities.

Yeah, I am getting my degree in the US, but I have no idea how it compares to the UK. However, quality is probably more about which school you go to versus what country you go to. Both countries are going to have good schools and bad schools.

I don't know anything about the former, and have never even heard of the second one.
