The best piece of this post is hidden in a sentence in the middle, and I wanted to call it out:
If cost is an issue, go to a community college BEFORE going to a 4-year engineering school. Community colleges are a fraction of the price of a university.
Any EE degree is going to require a significant investment in calculus, some diff eq, linear algebra, chemistry, physics, and likely some humanities.
With some clever coursework you can do ~2 years of full time EE coursework at a community college.
- projectileboy 8y agoI'd second this advice if budget is the main driver. To add on to what you said, if you're on an engineering track, your first two years are more or less the same wherever you go anyway. And as an added bonus, if you didn't do exceptionally well in high school, getting good grades at community college can make it easier to transfer into a more competitive state school for your third and fourth years.
