UIUC vs. MSU vs. Penn State

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I have been accepted to university of Illinois urbana champaign, michigan state, and penn state university park.
I am from Michigan- I plan to study Kinesiology pre-med.
Which school would you advise to be the best?</p>

<p>From talking to others, I understand that many people at Penn State major in Kinesiology with premed, this would give me many references and connections.</p>

<p>I like that UIUC gives many scholarships for students in Kinesiology. I think I would like their atmosphere. I haven't heard much about the kin program at UIUC or their premed, can anyone inform me of them? </p>

<p>I like MSU, especially because I live in Michigan but the biggest turn off for me there is that Kinesiology is in the College of Education. Will that hurt me in the long run? Is that a turn off as well for med schools? </p>

<p>I have not visited these colleges yet, I will be taking a college road trip soon though. Based on academics, advise me!
Thank You. </p>

<p>Kinesiology → cheapest degree possible, MSU</p>

<p>How much does each degree cost (actual number after scholarships and before any loan)</p>

yeah, MSU would be the most cheapest but would the fact that Kinesiology is in the school of Education, would that negatively affect me?</p>

<p>To be frank Kinesiology is viewed as a ■■■■■■■■ degree to begin with so I don’t think it’ll matter what department it’s being taught out of. </p>

<p>@bomerr
yeah, depending on what you do what THAT degree is can be viewed as ■■■■.
-___- thanks for the help though.</p>

<p>Splitting hairs. UI UC and PSU are the top of big ten state schools along with Michigan and Wisconsin. Among state universities USNWR put PSU #8 and UIUC #11. Michgan state is a little less so. If you are competing for Med school that may make a difference otherwise go Sparty!</p>

<p>^^^UIUC and PSU are not at the top of the B1G with Michigan. </p>
