<p>I'm an international applicant and I've got into both of them but I am having a hard time deciding which one I should join.
UCLA is in LA, which is really cool, but UIUC (I've heard) is really good for computer engineering.
I have read good and bad things about both so I was hoping for some first hand opinions. Cost is not a decisive issue for me.
Factors into consideration:
1.) Internship
2.) Quality of education
3.) Living experience (including learning experience)</p>
<p>anyone???</p>

<li><p>There’s not much of a difference in recruiting. From my experience, UIUC might have a slight advantage, but it’s not really noticeable.</p></li>
<li><p>Equivalent</p></li>
<li><p>UCLA’s located in a much more desirable location. I don’t know anything about UIUC’s campus life, but UCLA’s is decent.</p></li>
