3-2 Engineering in Programs for small colleges?
I'm looking to go into either Chemistry or Engineering for my major in college (currently a senior in highschool and beginning my application process). I have yet to decide whether I should enter into a 3-2 program if I choose to pursue engineering. Can anyone with experience in this area give me feedback on if a 3-2 program is really worth it, or would it be better to major in physics for an engineering career. If I want the typical college experience (being involved with the campus, students, faculty ect) should I avoid a 3-2 program? Do these programs allow me enough time to participate in intramural sports as well? I'm just really looking for feedback on the positives and negatives of a 3-2 program. The colleges that I am applying to are : Carleton Oberlin Furman University (really just a college) Ohio Weslyn Denison Macalster University of Minnesota and maybe Case Western Reserve

I know one of the Claremont schools (I'm pretty sure its Harvey Mudd) has a 3-2 program. I was accepted to Pitzer and loved the on-campus programs and 5-school consortium that all the schools share. You should definitely look into the program there because all of the Claremont schools are great. (FYI they're in the general LA area if you weren't aware.)
