<p>That is a listing by major of USNEWS rankings. All are great schools.</p>

<p>In general it shouldn't matter between these schools in engineering. Many times it's best to go to the school near where you might want to settle since many companies hire local college kids. </p>

<p>I'd go where it is most affordable; in an area of the country I might want to settle in; where there are plenty of research opportunities and to the size school you might like the best. I would also consider cost and ease of going home for the holidays. Where would you be happiest for 4 yrs?</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>For engineering, I would suggest uiuc.... Both uiuc and psu are big state schools so they are very similar, but uiuc honestly has the better engineering program.</p>

<p>you know after going to national conferences and talking to many different company reps....Id have to disagree, it's ranked higher, however where he'll get the best edication remains to be seen. Id go to PSU if you want to live in the Northeast, UIUC if you want to be in the midwest. the schools are so similar it really comes down to that. Also Id suggest just going to whichever costs the least.</p>
