<p>If you're going OOS for CS/CE, why not go for the gusto and apply to UIUC, which is even better than Purdue in those fields? They do seem to hand out some scholly dough as well. Texas and A&M have low tuition, even OOS, but they are pretty difficult with admission for nonresidents. Still, it is probably worth a shot!</p>
<p>Purdue slightly better than MSU in engineering, but it's not worth the OSS tuition difference to go there... Overall (including all curricula) MSU's a stronger school.</p>
