I got accepted into a couple of colleges, which is best for engineering?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I received most of my admission letters, and I've been accepted into exactly what I had expected.
I've been accepted into:</p>

<p>-University of Illinois @ Chicago
-Northern Illinois University
-Iowa State University
-University of Iowa
-Miami University of Ohio
-University of Missouri</p>

<p>All other preferences aside, which university is purely the academically superior one for an undergraduate computer science degree? Also, which university is most well known and has the most internships/recruiter opportunities available?</p>

<p>Iowa State is the one that jumps out at me from that list for engineering/computer science. Even though I work in New Jersey, I’ve worked with a couple of Iowa State CS grads.</p>

<p>Are any of them instate for you? Paying in-state vs. out-of-state tuition could easily trump all else.</p>

4

<p>I’m a resident of Illinois, however, Iowa State and University of Missouri are not significantly more expensive than the In-State colleges.</p>

5

<p>Iowa State is pretty much all of the above. They’re a huge engineering school, so a lot of employers are coming on campus and that is a big deal.</p>

6

<p>For computer science, UI-Chicago is also a great choice.</p>

7

<p>If I would do it all over again…I would go out of state for college. It’s another experience with different climate and culture. I say Iowa State.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback everyone, I’ve done more research on Iowa State, and I could definitely see myself attending there.</p>

<p>Iowa State was the one that jumped out at me too. I know about it because it’s a ranked engineering school that has automatic admissions so it could have been a great rolling safety had my D expressed any interest. They guarantee a response in about 7 weeks, so apply in September and you have a college in the bank by October. </p>

<p>Of course, my east coast D had no interest in going to school in Iowa, so it was all moot anyway, LOL. From everything I’ve read about it, it looks pretty decent.</p>
