<p>I am an international student from SOUTH KOREA and I got into...
UBC (Vancouver, Canada)
UIUC (Urbana, Illinois)
Baylor (Waco, Texas)
also PSU, IU but the top 3 are my top choices!</p>
<p>I received...
68,000 from Baylor for 4 years
none from UBC or UIUC (yet) and I doubt I'll receive any</p>
<p>If money wasn't an issue...I'd choose UBC or UIUC but Baylor gave me a lot of money
NOW...I don't know where to pick</p>
<p>I like Baylor because...
- received financial aid
- great sports
- mild weather
- strong programs
- pretty campus
BUT
- ranked lower
- not a strong reputation in Korea as other two
- religious (I don't really care)</p>
<p>I like UIUC because...
- great programs
- very international
- better reputation in Korea
- ranked high (global too)
- sports and campus, etc
BUT
- more expensive (40,000-low 50,000s)
- don't know if it's worth it than UBC</p>
<p>I like UBC because...
- amazing location (city, nature, etc)
- very international
- global ranking/reputation (although I don't know if UIUC or UBC is better in Korea)
- strong programs
- great weather
BUT
- it's in Canada and I've never been to Canada
- America is the mainstream place to go and I don't want to miss the experience
- no sports teams (like UIUC/Baylor...pride, etc)
- more expensive than Baylor but likely less than UIUC</p>
<p>Please give me some useful feedback!!!</p>
