OSU, UIUC or Purdue?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Ohio State University

<p>Basically, I made a huge mistake and applied to UIUC and Purdue’s business school instead of engineering and still got in (switched intended majors a bit too late because I didn’t know what I wanted to do). However I was able to switch to engineering at Ohio State without a problem.</p>

<p>Cost is a huge factor for me and Ohio State gave me a great financial aid package. UIUC comes up to $16,000 more than OSU while Purdue comes up to $7000 more annually. However my parents are willing to take out loans if it means going to a better college with a better program.</p>

<p>If I was to switch major, I would have to transfer into the engineering program (Computer Science) after my freshman year if I decided to attend either UIUC or Purdue, which is still no guarantee. However, their computer science programs are ranked significantly higher than Ohio States. In addition, a school with a strong business program would also be preferred in case I either double major or switch majors while at college.</p>

<p>The biggest factors: Cost, academic programs and reputation, campus and dorm quality and job and internship opportunities.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>OSU and UofIUC </p>

<p>Purdue can’t compare between these schools.</p>

<p>Fisher is very, very powerful.</p>

<p>I would go OSU but both are good choices. Check the curriculum at all these schools and figure out what classes you will be taking.</p>

<p>Honestly, all three are excellent schools worth going out of state or taking out loans for.</p>
