purdue vs illinois

<p>hi im a prospective male chemical engineering student and im having a little trouble determining which one of these schools is better. uiuc vs purdue. I dont want just rankings(i already kno those besdes 5 vs 13 is not that big of a deal) but rather coop opportunities, job placement, reputation, education quality, social scene, girls etc etc. Obv the first 4 topics r the most important but the others are influential as well. Also are these schools too big? ill be oos for both of them. I seem to like both of these schools, but their stats arent rlly that high. thanks</p>

<p>anyone???</p>
