<p>so i am currently deciding between UIUC, U wisconsin madison, and purdue university</p>

<p>i'm looking towards engineering, so UIUC seems the better of the three, but i also want to go to a school where i'll enjoy my time.</p>

<p>preferably i'd like to go to a school with an existent asian population so i don't become completely whitewashed by the time i graduate. </p>

<p>and i actually don't know much about any of these schools. </p>

<p>if i could get some input as to what you guy's think that'd be great.
thanks</p>

<p>Well I can't speak for UW, but Purdue and UIUC both have large Asian populations, especially in the engineering areas. Personally, I am a senior at UIUC in mechanical engineering, and I love it here. It is also a fairly diverse population in the department (though less so than the likes of ECE).</p>

<p>I chose this place over Purdue and Wisconsin, seriously I believe everyone who got into engineering at UIUC got into Purdue as well, and I have never seen anyone who chose purdue over UIUC for engineering (There might be though). There are ALOT of Asians here, especially Koreans.</p>

<p>Technically, Purdue is better than UIUC at aerospace engineering, though that is arguable. Personally, while I feel UIUC is the better school, it is not by much, and you will get a great education regardless of which one you pick. Go visit them and pick the one at which you feel most at home.</p>
