I loved Auburn. Just went down for E-Day with my two sons and it made me want to retire and go back to school for fun with all the cool engineering projects they have going on. They did not have all that when I was there (decades ago). My son was most interested in the Formula SAE and the autonomous formula racer. Before the trip he wanted to go mechanical. After the trip he is talking about Electrical/Computer and wanting to buy a standalone ECU for the Miata.

My daughter and her fiance will be attending grad school in the fall at Va Tech. My wife visited up there with my daughter and liked the area a lot. I have heard good things about the school but only met a couple of engineers that went there (both plenty smart). Future son-in-law is already up there freezing his butt off.

Mississippi State also has a decent engineering program and I have a nephew that just graduated from there. They have a reputation for providing really good scholarships as incentive to out of state students. He had a job with Lockheed lined up that started right after he graduated.

Haven't heard any bad stories about any of them on your list. I agree with Seahawk. It's a nice problem to have.
