UIUC $45K (first year) </p>

<p>b)Academics Purdue UsNews ranking – 9th
UIUC UsNews ranking – 5th</p>

<p>c)Scholarships for international students (I know they are rare but still)</p>

<p>d)Job Opportunities on or outside campus</p>

<p>e)The strength of the Indian Community on campus</p>

<p>f)Any other factors not on this list</p>

<p>Overall considering your criteria, I would say Purdue.. save money for undergrad, work hard and go to a top grad school..</p>

<p>There are loads of indians @ Purdue..</p>

<p>Go to Purdue - you'll receive an equal level of education, but you'll save quite a bit of moolah</p>
