Cornell vs Brown-Mechanical Engineering

[leoyang]

Hi guys,

I need a little bit of help. The April 15th is coming, so I want to make my decision as soon as possible.

I got into my top two schools with full financial support(Cornell and Brown). I am very focused in pursuing graduate education within Fluid Mechanics. I have heard that the solid mechanics program at Brown is among the best, while, I have no idea about their fluid mechanics group. On the other hand, the department of Mechanical Engineering at Cornell is famous as well. So, it is really a hard decision.

As an international student, I hope I can get some valuable advice from others, especially from those who know these two universities better than me. Thank you to all those who want to contribute to the discussion!
