Mechanical engineering: UCLA, UIUC or UMich

<p>I'm wondering, how do these schools compare with each other in mechanical engineering?</p>

<p>I'm mostly concerned with opportunities for research and internships as well as contacts with businesses. Keep in mind I'm an international student, because I know some projects are only allowed for US citizens...</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Honestly you couldn’t go wrong with any of them. They are all top notch in terms of reputation and job opportunities. It will likely just come down to where you feel most comfortable and/or which is the most affordable.</p>
