Hi- I'm currently in college but next year plan to transfer to either University of Louisville Speed School of Engineering OR University of Cincinnati to participate in their co-op program. I'd like some advice on what to do. Or if anyone has experienced either of these programs let me know how it was. Here are some factors to consider.
-I am pursuing a degree in Computer (hardware) Engineering
-Both programs are 5 years long (but I'll transfer in with 30 credits)
-Both schools cost the same (without aid)
-U of L, I will graduate with a Bachelor's and a Masters
-UC's program is alternating between full time work and full time school
-At UC I will graduate with 4 years of work experience in my field
-UC will allow me to have a full time salary to assist with tuition/housing costs
-U of L will probably require ~$10,000 in loans after 4 years
I feel that UC is better in the short term. I get to take a break from education to actually get real world experience. I'll graduate debt free and most likely come out with a job.
U of L will cost more. But I'll have a Master's, so in the long run I'll end up making more money- right?
Any help is super appreciated. Thanks so much.
