<p>Hey guys I need a little help in deciding between Ohio State or University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. These two are the top of my list and I have been accepted into both Fisher College and the College of Business at UIUC.</p>
<p>A little background information:
-I’m OOS from Virginia.
-OSU has offered me 48k in total scholarships (12k per year) vs none from UIUC</p>
<p>What is everybody’s opinion? Which school is more prestigious overall and more well-known to recruiters and companies? Along with factoring in my financial situation, which one should you choose if you were me?</p>
<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>If you can afford it and there is a huge deciding factor towards UIUC, then go to UIUC. Otherwise, OSU is a great school. Fisher is an amazing school with amazing facilities and the 50K in scholarships should be the tipping point. I’m an OOS engineering major and I got a lot of scholarship money. I also got into UT-Austin, which has a (somewhat) more prestigious engineering program. I turned down UT for OSU and it was the best decision that I ever made!</p>
<p>Business Week ranks undergraduate business programs, and in their 2013 rankings, OSU is 34th in the nation, and Illinois is 21st. Both are good programs, and you would probably have a great experience at either. I’m a senior finance major at Fisher if you have any questions about the program or OSU in general. </p>
<p>I do recommend limiting the amount of student loans you’ll need, if that is part of how you’ll be paying for college. </p>
