No engineering degree is garbage. A bachelor's in engineering is one of the most prestigious undergraduate degrees one can earn, no matter what school he or she went to. Sure, even though La. Tech isn't that great of a school, you have to realize that not many schools are authorized to grant a variety of engineering degrees. One great thing about La. Tech is that it is one of the "not many schools" that is authorized to grant a variety of engineering degrees.
What other schools in Louisiana are authorized to grant a variety of engineering degrees? Off the top of my head, I believe that Tulane, LSU, ULL, UNO, McNeese, Southern, and La. Tech are the only seven colleges in Louisiana that are allowed to offer engineering degrees. I don't think they have departments of engineering at LSU-Eunice, LSU-Shreveport, LSU-Alexandria, University of Louisiana at Monroe, Northwestern State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Grambling State University, Nicholls State University, Loyola University, Centenary College, etc. But, I'm just guessing, like I said, off the top of my head. I'd have to research it before I try to make it sound like a fact.

Heck, to be honest, my high school english teacher got mad at me for applying only to Tech. She pretty much said that I could go anywhere in the country, why the heck Tech? I even got a letter from a pretty good school in England but i really doubt i could have gotten into it if i wanted, plus tuition there would have been bout 10 grand a semester. lol Part of english teachers point was that Tech gave out least money of anywhere in state and i should have at least applied to other schools. I was like, that is 20 bucks a school to apply for scholly's...heck no, i don't have that. yeah, stupid when i look back now, but just didn't care bout it back then. Actually looked into school in England though, that one intrigued me but it was really only one i gathered much info on. But heck, it was England.
Anyway, looked up a few stats and ULL and Tech; you got me curious. Both were ranked in the national category by US News in the fourth tier and had selective admissions, so pretty similar. ULL had about 67% more people, so i guess i would expect them to get a bigger endowment, too, but they did get bout 100 percent bigger. Tech was more expensive though. Tuition there was 4300 compared to 3300 for ULL. Guess point of my above story was to say that Tech just didn't charge more to give it back.I realize TOPS pays for it now(Honors when i graduated, switched to tops like year after). I still got free ride though so English teacher worried over nothing.

Can you blame your teacher for getting mad at you for only applying to Tech? My gosh, that really was retarded on your part at that time in your life. Why didn't you at least go to LSU? I could never imagine settling for any public college in Louisiana less than LSU.
In fact, I also feel kind of "stupid when i look back now" by choosing to go to LSU. I had full scholarships to many better schools across the country. But LSU's party scene blew me away, and I wanted to experience that. I told myself that I only got one chance to live it up, to make those stories I can tell my grandkids about. And I definitely lived it up at LSU. I don't regret it at all.
