RIT, University of Illinois or Ohio State Univ?

<p>Hi , </p>

<p>I have completed my high school this year, and have got admission for fall session into RIT,University of Illinois (UC) and Ohio State University for a chemical engineering undergrad program. </p>

<p>While I know University of Illinois is very highly reputed in terms of ranking, it also turns out to be a relatively more expensive affair. Would you know of any co-op system in the university where i might be able to fund my education ,say in the 3rd or 4th year. In which case i might be able to consider this option.</p>

<p>Coming to RIT and Ohio- I have recieved a $10,000 scholorship from RIT, which makes it a very tempting offer to take,however am not sure of how great a place it is. Which would you recommend between Ohio and RIT in that case?</p>

<p>Would appreciate your guidance at the earliest </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Pay the extra money and go to Illinois. ChemE is brand new at RIT, isn’t it? Illinois!!!</p>

<p>What can you afford and what can’t you?</p>

<p>I would take Ohio State over RIT and if you can’t afford Illinois, I would go to Ohio State.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the suggestions. </p>

<p>RIT and Ohio are still within my budget. Illinois would turn out to be more expensive.However if there is any co-op system where i could fund a part of the education, i would still want to go ahead with Illinois.</p>

<p>Would anyone know of any system as such?</p>

<p>I would not plan on co-op funding your education. Ohio State is an excellent engineering school. Go there.</p>

<p>I would suggest University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign though you have already identified as the school not being affordable ( or expensive) so my second suggestion would be Ohio state University.</p>

<p>Ohio State.</p>

<p>Great academically and socially.</p>

<p>My son as accepted to RIT and hated it upon visiting. Neither he or my husband were impressed. This was a surprise, and obviously, just their opinion. Also, consider that it is common at RIT to spend 5 years there, so add that on to the cost.</p>

<p>Ohio State. Big Ten school with lots going on. I give it high votes for academics and socially.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for your suggestions… I have at least zeroed in on Ohio State and illnois for the time being!</p>
