<p>Assuming UIUC is for out-of-state, which one is better and why? </p>
<p>It appears that both are similarly ranked and have strong Science, Engineering and Accounting programs. Other than one being a small, private and the other being a big, public are there any other benefits or disadvantages in one or the other.</p>
<p>Thank you for your input. </p>
<p>My kid is contemplating between the two.</p>
