UIUC Honors vs Carnegie Mellon

<p>Hey Everyone!</p>

<p>I'm deciding between these 2 schools at the moment. I plan on doing computer engineering, and got into Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at CMU and computer engineering at UIUC. </p>

<p>For UIUC, I was accepted into the James Scholar Honors Program for the college of engineering. </p>

<p>For the honors at UIUC, I have some benefits such as priority class registration, etc. </p>

<p>Which school would be a better choice? I'm looking into factors such as job opportunities and prospect for each school, quality of education and which school I have better research opportunities? </p>

<p>Also, which school will I be able to interact more with professors and work with them on research?</p>

<p>Please disregard the cost of tuition, etc, as I am an international student, and money isn't the issue for me really. Since they come up to only 10-15k difference. </p>

<p>I would really appreciate advice from people who know or can answer the questions above. Thanks!</p>

<p>Bump. Someone?</p>

<p>both are good schools for ece. choose based on other factors. illinois is a lot larger and more rural than cmu. you would be fine jobwise either place.</p>
