<p>I have been accepted to both USC and UIUC for an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering and am stuck choosing between the two. For both schools it looks like there will be no funding so that doesn't make the decision easier. Which school would be considered more prestigious to go to? I would really like to go to USC but I don't know if I can afford living in LA. Is USC worth the loans for two years? </p>
<p>I have also been accepted to UW (Seattle) and UF but I do not think I will go to either. I'm still waiting to hear back from a few more schools, especially Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses!</p>
