Where are the better schools?

I'm guessing that schools in Germany and France would be superior to
schools in the UK, but that's just a guess (mostly from the idea that
just about anyone can call him/herself an "engineer" in the UK).
True? False?

If I would choose schools for engineering. I wold pick based upon following:

1)Location
2)Fullness and use of LABS
3)Cost

Location because you do have to live for 4-5 years to obtain BS and longer for MS PHD. So you may as well live in nice environment. If this includes Europe, fine.

Given the artisitic nature and ability to create something, as a real-world engineer, the LABS ad the ACTUAL USE OF THE LABS, is critically important. So beyond volt meters and low frequency generators ans scopes, I wold like to see:

TDR
Spectrum analyzers
VNA
High voltage (tube or advance DC power)
Anechoic chambers
Lasers


Make your own "points" system and score in excel *** to compare several opportunities. Most folks have cos as #1 priority and then usually go to the State or participating schools nearby. Thats OK to, as you learn as you go, so in ten AFTER you graduate, and you are paying attention, you have earned 2.5 times as much as yo did the day yo graduated.. Hopefully, this trend continues and you can do good work, irrespective and despite :-) where you received your formal training. BTW, there is a lot of similarity in the basic courses and supporting math to obtain a BSEE or other BS hard engineering degree..
