I am having trouble deciding which would be better. UIUC is in state and much closer to home but there is no financial adi being offered. Pitt. is oos and about 7 1/2 hours away but offering 20K per year. I really loved Pitt but my S seems to want to go to UIUC. I have heard the the professors at UIUC are not easy for students to get help from but
U of I is ranked higher overall in Engineering. Any opinions?
I love Pitt, but UIUC is a top 10 Engineering school and since it’s in state, this is a no brainer. I’ve lived in Urbana - it’s a great place to go to school. All professors are required to have office hours and there are TA’s that help.
I also love Pitt, but go UIUC - fantastic program.
