UT-Austin vs. UIUC

<p>Which one would u guys prefer?? I am mainly interested in the academics quality...</p>

<p>Oh yea.. and which one has better academic reputation?</p>

<p>uiuc easily</p>

<p>Illinois for the win.</p>

<p>It's not a hands-down question. Depends what you want to go into. Academically they're about equal (except in engineering I guess) but Austin is a more lively college town. Just visit and research the programs I guess.</p>

<p>actually i am going to do engineering (Mechanical/electrical)... so UIUC?? too bad i didnt apply to UIUC.. i did apply to texas though... any opinions on what i should do?</p>
