UIUC vs PSU vs CMU Engineering

<p>I need inputs on what school i should attend for civil engineering</p>

<p>I live in PA.</p>

<p>What are the benefits to attending each of these schools?
Is it really worth 200k for 4 years at CMU compared to like 60K for PSU or 100k for Illinois?
Tell me what you like and dislike about the school if you attend one of these.</p>

<p>DS is a dual major junior in SCS/ECE. One of the most unexpected (for us) benefits that we discovered with CMU was their outstanding placement for summer internships. DS and many of his classmates got exceptional opportunities in terms of the companies, the programs, and the money. I don’t know if these opportunities are typical for students at Urbana Champaign or Penn State but we’ve been more than happy with what he’s been able to get in this regard.</p>
