<p>My top two colleges are UIUC and University of Maryland and I plan to major in Mechanical Engineering and I plan on studying abroad. I've lived in Illinois my entire life and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being highest) of how much I like Illinois is a 3. However, it's the better engineering school of the two, and I get in-state tuition which will allow me to afford to study abroad, which is a big aspect for me. For UMD, it's a 9 but I won't be able to study abroad because of out of state tuition and I hear their engineering school isn't as great as UIUC.</p>
<p>Which one should I choose?</p>
