Hello 
So I got accepted to both UCI and UIUC for fall 2016 in computer science, and I am conflicted between both schools. Just looking for some feedback on which school would be better for me to attend.
Please don’t talk much about ranking/prestige/tuition
Some questions I have:
- What is the student life like? Is there much to do on/off campus?
- Strength of respective CS programs
- Job prospects/recruiting (I would prefer to get a job in California, would that be possible through UIUC?; Live in NorCal btw :) )
- Housing/Meals? How's the campus food?
- Study abroad program
These are some of the main things I want some insight in for both campuses, so if you guys could help me out, I would really appreciate it!
I think of more questions as the thread grows.
