The same reason there are teachers to avoid at LSU for certain classes.

Yeah, not so much. How is this parenting advice? I'm asking about LSU's reputation in the job market from those who have been through it. Where else would I obtain this information? From a magazine article?

I'm not the one who can't understand a simple concept that many people agree on from both sides of the fence

You don't even know what LSU engineering classes are like. Why should anyone take your opinion on the matter?

Never understood this argument. People at LSU would take the harder engineering classes at Southern when I was in school. But it's the same book and science right? Yeah but the professor dumbs it down to the intelligence of his students

This is true. Physics is Physics whether you are at Harvard or Southeastern Louisiana. The difference is a kid like the OP's is surrounded by bright minds and focused students, vs. kids that are having to take remedial community college classes to keep their grades above the threshold that they can keep their financial aid.

What I'm saying is that the programs are likely to be exactly the same.

Depends on scholarships and what each school can offer for tuition assistance. If he is getting free rides everywhere then shoot high. If he can go to LSU for free but will be 120k in debt to go somewhere other than a top 15 school then go for free

It's not true though. Thermo at Southern isn't thermo at LSU.
And in my Geotech class over a summer we had two kids from Southern that needed the class to graduate. They were completely inept compared to just about everyone of the LSU students. Just because the information is the same doesn't mean the education is. How can anyone possibly argue that?

God this argument is so bad. Yes the science is the same. No the difficulty is not. All the schools in the country aren't giving people the same tests and assignments.

With different teachers that focus on different things. You can't honestly believe that.
If it were that easy, why wouldn't NOLA public schools use the same books as Jesuit? Should be the same education, right?

Where did I ever say I didn't take 2 PETE classes and 1 CE class at LSU?
When did I ever say I did not get accepted with a partial scholarship to Colorado School of Mines?
When did I say it was purely my opinion based solely on personal experience? And not an opinion I formulated by having conversations with 1 friend who graduated from MIT and subsequently went to LSU for a different degree, 2 friends that got CE degrees from Stanford, and 1 friend that has a Harvard Law degree, and 4 friends with MBA's from UPenn Wharton?

You laugh, but there is a certain amount of merit to this argument. An MIT degree will open more doors for you than an LSU degree and will start you off somewhat near the top, but it won't keep you there if you end up being a frick up.
By contrast, that same frick up would never make it through 4 years in LSU engineering. If you can't hack it they'll just flunk you right out. They DGAF about their "sterling graduation rates" that schools like MIT do.
ETA; I still don't see too many frick ups even getting through the door at MIT though

Well why don't we go ahead and start comparing high school AP classes as well. The classes aren't "dumbed down" at LSU in comparison to the "MITs". You can look at the book and sample problems in it and see that.

3 Entry level classes, congrats on your complete knowledge of LSU engineering. quote:

That means something to me.

I'm not disputing the quality of the students. I agree the students at MIT are brighter than those at schools like LSU. That's why I said choosing a school like MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, or Columbia is the way to go. Not only are you getting a great education, the career services offices are more intimately involved, and you are making great connections with classmates who will probably be making serious bank later in life.

and LSU have the same objective. Graduate enough to meet accredidation, increase enrollment.
