If you are referring to Cal State University, in my opinion the best one is San Luis Obispo. Its even harder to get into than some UC's.

UC Berkeley, hands-down, is the best public university.  That's why UC Berkeley is the only UC school who gets to call themselves simply "University of California."  That's why when you say I go to "Cal" it means UC Berkeley.  Each state designates one university to be the flagship state university, and in California "Cal" is the one.  Cal also remains the highest ranked UC in all major ranking publications.\n\nP.S. However, if you are considering private schools (i.e. Cal Tech, Stanford), that's another story.

Purdue Universoty in West Lafayette is arguably the best state school for engineering in the US.  Rose-Hulman near Terre Haute is one of the top 5 private engineering schools in the world.

Since all Universities in the world had different ways of teaching its student, there isn't actually the "best." It's just depend on your opinion. My opinion is that in the US, the best one is either Harvard University or John Hopkins University. In UK, I think its Cambridge University and Oxford University. All of the schools that I mentioned offers international students some form of financial aid. Contact them for more info.

While there are many factors to consider when choosing a school of higher eductation, the US News and World Report listings are a good start.\n\nNow the link given below is for graduate schools.  I think you would have to pay for the complete listing of undergraduate engineering programs.  Nevertheless, the link should give you a good idea of top engineering programs in America.\n\nGood luck.

Any Ivy League School will be great. Undergrad at SMU or Yale and Grad at Harvard, Yale, or Columbia will give you the best in what you want.

There are some really fine universities in California, and many of them have foreign students. Look at University of California Los Angeles, University of California Berkeley, and Stanford. Those are probably the three best, but "best" really depends on what you intend to major in. For example - Engineering, go to UC Berkeley. Film? UCLA. Business? Stanford.
