Mr.Im_blue. Question about UIUC

<p>I have a question.. Dear, Mr blue, could u answer me?? I've got accepted four schools which are uiuc,umich,git,ucla, and uva for EE.. I might go to UIUC..Is it a good choice?? You had undergraduate at UIUC right? If you are me, which school would you go?? Can you make an order one to four between those schools? I have heard UIUC EE is a killer for students... Is it that hard?? And also, which class are gonna be challenging?? What course was the hardest courses for u for ECE classes?? Thank you so much.. I hope you would answer my questions..</p>

<p>Go wherever it makes most financial sense. If you are in-state at any of these schools, go there. Period. Academically, they are all equal. </p>

<p>If you are out of state for all, Illinois would be last on the list. As a Chicagoan my whole life, I have been down to Champaign many times. The weather ain't great, to say the least, and the town ain't too happening. Yes, it's a Big Ten school, but Ann Arbor is a lot more fun(also has better sports to root for!). And the student body is 80+% from the Chicagoland area. Not very geographically diverse.</p>

<p>I say go where it's warmer. To pay out of state for the U of I, when those other choices are available, I say no.</p>

<p>Uh, isn't that 5 schools?</p>

<p>^^ No, GIT is not a school. ;)</p>

<p>UIUC ECE is a killer and it is without a doubt the best dept. at UIUC even though Civil and Matse are ranked higher. Solid-State Electronics and Communication Networks are nightmares. If you are serious about ECE go to UIUC. It is arguably the best in the country (faculty quality, publicaitons) and at worst #3.</p>

<p>No, "GIT" is not a school. "GT" is, however.</p>

<p>If you meant that Georgia Tech is not a school in any other respect then you are quite ignorant.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure Gator meant nobody calls it "GIT" but "GT" instead</p>

<p>Yea man it was a joke, chill.</p>

<p>To Melani, the OP: how did you get admitted to UCLA when its decisions are not out yet?</p>
