Liberal Arts Colleges as viable institutions for Engineers
Now that I am fully well into my college research, I am debating on whether I should apply to liberal arts colleges. I have heard many great things about liberal arts colleges, but they do not seem to be the place for an engineer. Is it an ignorant choice to not apply to any liberal arts colleges at all? I know several colleges have a computer science program, but none of the institutions I am interested in are ABET accredited.

Most of the other schools I plan on applying to are institutes of technology and polytechnics. No state schools since most of them are over 20 thousand students per campus. I am only looking for schools with 7000 students or less. The biggest schools I am applying to are the Cal Polys, because of the low tuition for California students.

Do you guys have any general college admissions advice for me? I plan on going into research and eventually become a professor. Because "He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much." -Lao Tzu

To be specific, I plan on double majoring in Computer Science and Electrical engineering.
