College Advice |
Question: University of Evansville in Indiana?can anyone give me opinions on this particular university?36 months ago
Best AnswerMy mother went there--when it was Evansville College. She got graduate degrees elsewhere and wound up working for the State Dept and then teaching at Columbia University, so I guess Evansville gave her a good start. But a long time ago! |
Question: compare university of evansville and university of arkansas for undergrad MECHANICAL engineering STUDIES?basically i would like to know past record of the abovesaid universities based on which one is better from academic and job prospects point of view44 months ago
Best AnswerBoth are recognized as regional universities, but I think that Evansville's faculty has a greater reach in the journals, so if you are considering a Master's (as all engineers should), Evansville is more impressive. Where do you feel more comfortable? |
Question: Which is the best university in Dubuque, Iowa?There are 4 or 5 different small colleges in the actual city. I was looking at the University of Dubuque and Loras University, I don't know much about the others.48 months ago
Best AnswerI personally graduated from Loras College. I feel it was a pretty good liberal arts school, and I got a pretty good education. From my experiences, Loras had more classes and options of majors than the University of Dubuque. I don't know what exactly you are look to get into, so maybe that would influance it too. |
