<p>Hi there,
Which among UT Austin, Univ of Michigan and UIUC would be best for engineering? I know Austin is slightly lower in the rankings, but does such a small difference really matter? Moreover I'm an international student (from UAE, Could I call u up Alexandre?) and there's a difference of around 10K in their fee structure? Would'nt I be better off investing that money in my masters? (MBA most likely) Thanks a lot</p>
<p>i doesn't really matter, all 3 are probably the same, in terms of everything, whatever feels good, cheaper, go there.</p>
<p>i think u mich and uiuc have better engineering schools, just by reputation (i know austin is good) i think the deciding factor will be how you feel about the campuses</p>

<p>What the posters said is basically true. Michigan and UIUC are better programs, but maybe, like you said, you'd be better off investing your moeny in grad school. Get a feel for the social atmospheres and then decide if the combination of better academics AND social atmosphere is worth the extra money. I found that it was, but that was just me.</p>
