College Search & Selection

<p>I got into both the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for their respective actuarial science programs. Does anyone which one is better or have any opinions on which one I should go to?</p>

<p>Both are good schools. Go with the less expensive one.</p>

<p>^^^by all means, show your friends that you’re already good at math.</p>

<p>Both are designated centers of excellence so price if that matters to you.</p>

<p>Michigan’s Actuarial track is in the Math department which has a Financial math track as well (quant outplacement). That is a nice alternative should you change your mind on Actuarial Sciences. Not sure what IL has as an equivalent. </p>

<p>Btw another thing to consider: Ann Arbor>>UC</p>
