UIUC ECE VS Cornell ECE MS/PHD

<p>I have been admitted to Cornell and UIUC ECE MS/PHD program with full financial aid.
My specialty is solid state device. Which school should I go for?
Should I consider ECE ranking or overall reputation?
I dont know what to do.
Any comment?</p>

<p>Did you visit both? I’m heading to UIUC this fall and saw the campus and some of the department, but I cannot comment on Cornell other than by reputation.</p>

<p>Both are good schools, I don’t see a bad choice here, so it really depends on your individual interest.</p>

<p>They are both great options. I would really think about where you want to live for the coming years. If you have a spouse, where would he/she feel comfortable.</p>
