Applying to College Admission Stories
1

Hello People

I am an international student.

Well I applied to a limited number of colleges for a B.S Civil Engineering degree and I need your advice on the best possible choice I can make. Factors I am taking into account are Climate, Education, Research opportunities, Internship opportunities, reputation and scope of scholarships after the freshman year.
So here goes the list for consideration:

UT Austin (****rell) - Honors, 1,000 USD scholarship for the freshman year.
UIUC - James Scholar, Honors
Purdue - Honors
Penn State
Rose Hulman - 3,000 USD for the first year.
Drexel University - 17,000 USD for the first year.

Every reply is appreciated in advance.

Is money a significant factor?

Well, if you intend to major in Civil Engineering I think that UIUC would be the best option. What type of weather do you prefer though? Maybe you could list a few pros and cons for each school?

I prefer a warm weather and I am more inclined towards UT Austin but I am always wondering if there is a stark difference between UT Austin and UIUC in terms of education as UT A is 4th for CE and UIUC is 1st for CE from USNR.
