<p>Got James Scholar honors program in the College of Engineering
(Computer Science) in UIUC.
I got Turing Scholars Programme also in UT Austin.
UT Austin's program appears to be good when financial aid,
separate accomodation and all other factors taken
into consideration. I am an International student.
Dear Parents: : please guide me which one is good?</p>
<p>UIUC’s computer science program is generally in the “top 10 in the nation” lists (among MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Wisconsin, Berkeley, Stanford, etc.</p>
<p>I have not seen UT Austin on a top ten list but it may be a perfectly good program and if they offer sufficient financial aid, may be the best program for you.</p>

<p>Thank you. In computer science rankings UIUC is 5th and
UT Austin 9th. However it seems most of the students are
getting admissions from top 5 or 6 schools in Ph.D direct.
Turing scholars are getting various types of financial benefits.
UIUC will not give any assistance to Internationals.
Have to go to Austin.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this will financially benefit you, but UIUC recently was given a $100M dollar donation to the Engineering College, and one of the purposes is to increase aid/scholarships for students.</p>
