University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign vs University of Maryland

College Search & Selection
1

Hello, I have been accepted to The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and The University of Maryland to study in aerospace engineering. I want to focus more in the astronautical engineering aspect over the aeronautical engineering.

I did not yet have the chance to visit the UIUC, so I have some questions:

  1. Also, which college, UMD or UIUC, will give me a better experience in an aerospace engineering major?
  2. Also, which college will give me more internship and job opportunities in my field?
  3. And most of all, Which college should I chose?!?!

U Maryland College Park is close to NASA in Greenbelt, MD FWIW.
