Nuclear engineering at UIUC vs UW Madison vs Rensselaer?

<p>Any nukes out there have an opinion about these three schools? If money is not a deciding factor, where would you go? </p>

<p>Definitely not U-W because UIUC has the better engineering program and the social life about the same. I turned down RPI for UIUC (aerospace engineering) because when I visited it seemed like the most boring place on the planet, I just assumed it was full of anti social kids. Looking back it was a good call, I’m probably going to finish my freshman year with a ~3.8 and had a ton of fun and mad a lot of friends. I visited both campuses and UIUC just felt right, so I would definitely recommend doing so. </p>

<p>Thanks for sharing your opinion!</p>
