<p>Hi,
I`m from India having not much knowledge of the American Universities.
I have recvd admit confirmations from both Purdue & Univ of Illinois at Urbana Champaign for their 4 year undergraduate programme in Computer Engineering and am in the usual dilemma... which to confirm?

Rankings ... Illinois is better ranked but Purdue is not ranked really much below and has a reputation of being a pure engineering institute.

I don`t know much about the quality of their courses,programmes, faculty and facilities in Computer Engineering undergarduate department.</p>

<p>Kindly guide me. Thanks a ton</p>

<p>I can't really comment on Purdue, but you can perhaps take a glimpse of UIUC ECE classes through some videos uploaded by the UIUC ECE department.</p>

<p>personally, I would prefer Illinois, it is slightly better than Purdue in ECE, the environment feels a bit better too.</p>

<p>I think it's good to go to a non-tech school for undergrad, so my choice would be illinois.</p>
