I'm an international student admitted to engineering physics at SCU and engineering-undeclared at nc state. I have a 20k grant at SCU + cost is not a huge factor. My cousins live in California which is a plus point for SCU ,however it doesn't have a very strong reputation for engineering in comparison to NC State. NC state has a massive school spirit,small town vibe (Raleigh) and is a public school whereas SCU is private. Is the Silicon Valley advantage truly worth it? I've heard mixed reviews about it.
