<p>Those are my three choices as of now. I'm leaning more towards Michigan or Case, but I'd like to have the opinions and thoughts of others.</p>

<p>Financial aid-wise, I have full ride to Case and Illinois, and 2/3 to Michigan (curse the out of state tuition). </p>

<p>I live in the suburbs of Chicago, so U of I is a 2 hour drive while Michigan and Case are about 6 and 9 hours respectively. </p>

<p>I am going into general engineering, most likely doing environmental, civil, or chemical as my major.</p>

<p>How valuable is name value, and is Michigan's reputation that much greater than the others?</p>

<p>What is campus life like at Michigan?
Is the atmosphere very competitive?
How is the undergraduate program?</p>

<p>Thankyou for your time!</p>

<p>If the extra money isn’t an issue: UM
If the extra money is an issue: UI.
I wouldn’t consider CWRU, but that’s just me.
I’m too lazy to comment on the specifics, but the atmosphere and school spirit that Michigan has is unsurpassable.</p>
