I used to attend number 4 Kettering University. Flint is a horrible town and is constantly ranked in the most dangerous cities list for the US. The school is very good and very tough. The labs are some of the best and they are constantly throwing more money at making them better. I school also has a quarter schedule where you attend school for three months, then work a co-op for three months. You start this from your freshman year and normally are offered a job when you graduate. I used to work for UPS in the automotive engineering department at corporate as my co-op. Overall its a great school but the schedule is tough as you don't see home or friends at other schools much. Also don't walk outside at night as you will probably be robbed at gunpoint.
