<p>I was accepted for transfer into Penn State and U of I. Both top choices and similarly ranked as far as my research tells me. So at the risk of sounding shallow.. my question is.. Which one is the most prestigious? </p>
<p>For the field I want to go into, I was told that the more prestigious the school the better my chances for being noticed. Which one is the all around more respected university?</p>
<p>probably penn state but i don’t know how similar or different the schools are.</p>
<p>Thanks! thats my problem too. I’m going into journalism and I really only know some general information about the both of them. Their journalism programs aren’t their premier programs, but they’re well developed. </p>
<p>Both are too far for me to make visits to each in order to compare them… </p>
<p>as far as the advice (pick the most prestigious uni to get noticed) goes, I hope it isn’t so cut and dry because I intend to take advantage of opportunities during college to gain experience and beef up the resume. If it really comes down to a name brand university I’m not adverse to playing that game too.</p>
