<p>Hi everyone,
I'm an international student and have been admitted to UIUC, Univ of Washington and WPI.
My major is Computer science and my education goal is a Phd in this field.
So what is the best school for me? If only reputation and quality are considered, UIUC is absolutely the choice. However, UIUC costs me 44k/y while UW is about 38k/y and WPI gives me a 25k/y scholarship which brings down the cost to 27k/y)
Thank you veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery much.</p>
<p>any comments ? :(</p>
<p>UIUC has better computer science. It’s science programs are highly ranks. Your choice should be between UIUC and UW if cost is not a big deal. good luck.</p>
<p>A top rank is not necessarily the main consideration. If you feel that a small school with individual attention would help you succeed, then consider WPI. Their professors are friendly and approachable, especially because they are focused on YOUR EDUCATION rather than on their personal research. However, if you are assertive and you can take care of yourself at a university with 30,000+ students, then a larger school would be fine. Good luck with your decision!</p>
