Hey, everyone! I have been accept into both UIUC and UW Madison for its Chemical Engineering major. Additionally, UIUC offers me the LAS James Scholar program. I am an international, so the tuitions of both schools do not really matter to me. (both are around 50000). I am currently deciding which one to attend. I have heard rumors that UIUC has a ton of international students and I am kind of afraid that will prevent me from making friends with other people (I mean I am afraid to stuck inside the circle of internationals and I can not get out of it). But I have also heard the rumors that because of changes in policies, UW Madison is cutting some money from its undergraduate programs, and it does not let freshmen choose the major until sophomore year, and you will have to compete with a lot of other students and transfer students for the limited available spaces. I am definitely going to the graduate school, so the location and the climate does not really matter. Now the question is, which school will possibly give me a better experience for my undergraduate years to pursue a degree as a chemical engineer, and will help me to get into a great graduate school. Thank you!
