engineering
I am a sophomore and know i want to go into the field of engineering. I am just wondering what colleges, if any, in Boston offer good engineering because I want to stay at home. I do not want to get out of college and have tens of thousands of dollars to pay back in loans. #engineer

Hello Sean,
Although I do not have an engineering degree and do not live in the Boston area, I have done research on this topic in the past for another student. I have attempted to adapt that same information to fit your inquiry. You were wondering about schools with good engineering programs. I came across an article on the U.S. News website under its education section. This article listed the "best undergraduate engineering programs" from a survey conducted on peer assessment surveys back in 2014. The top 3 best undergraduate engineering programs where doctorate degrees are offered come from the following colleges respectively: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA), Stanford University (Stanford, CA). and the University of California--Berkeley (Berkeley, CA). Luckily for you, the first of the top three colleges in this list appear to be located in your area.
This article also lists the top 3 best undergraduate engineering programs where doctorate degrees are not offered. I will post the link to this article below as well as a link to a similar article about the top graduate engineering program colleges ranked in 2015. As a disclaimer, I would note that this information does come from a survey and is by no means completely definitive. I hope you find some of this useful and encourage you to continue to post with us if you have further questions. Thank you for using Career Village!
