<p>The schools are very different. UIUC has six times as many students as Lehigh. They rely much more heavily on grad students to teach undergrads. Their drop-out rate is higher and graduation rate is lower than Lehigh. All of that is not to say that you couldn’t have an outstanding experience at UIUC, but there’s a reason why you feel you’ll be more nurtured at Lehigh. It’s because you will. Go with the school that feels like you’ll be most likely to thrive. A degree from either would be good.</p>
