UCSD vs UIUC vs UW vs GTech

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>It's nearing May 1st and I'm really having a hard time deciding between these four wonderful schools.</p>

<p>My intended major is CS and I am a resident of CA. With all scholarships/grants taking into account, UCSD costs around 21k and the others are around 42k give or take a few thousand dollars. I know that all the schools are decent but UIUC UW and Gtech all have more prestige in CS over UCSD. Taking cost into account, would it be worth it going out of state? (I don't really mind which one, as i have extensively researched them all and would be fine with any). How about cost aside which one would be most ideal, especially if I'm looking towards graduate school.</p>

<p>Another few things to note, I got into SD for EE so I would have to transfer to CS. UIUC I got stats and cs and i would want to transfer to CS. UW I got pre-science so I'd have to apply for CS sophomore year. Gtech is only one I got directly into CS in.</p>

<p>Advice would be appreciated!</p>
