<p>With strong interest and a little talent in computer science, while with intention of seeking a job after graduation in consulting firms instead of IT company like Google, MS....</p>
<p>I wonder which one of the two colleges - UIUC and UCLA - is better for me?</p>
<p>Does not matter. Go to the one you like better. I did my CS/Business degree at Rhodes and went on to a career in Fortune 500 land before coming back to higher ed. Fantastic major combination!</p>
<p>I suggest you look into the CS/Business degree at USC offered at Viterbi Engineering. UCLA is very expensive out of state. UIUC has a fantastic CS department but it is in southern Illinois and you need to be comfortable with its location.</p>
