I’m from the bay area and is planing to major in engineering? Which would be a better suited school for me to go? I understand that UCI is situated in a better area job wise, Purdue has a better engineering program, and UVA has a better name. Where should I go?

These are all great schools!
You’re placing too much emphasis on the word “better”…just because someone ranked schools on some list doesn’t mean that school is better for you. You don’t have any bad choices here.
Have you visited each? That usually helps the decision making process. Make a pro/con list…but only include factors relevant to you, not someone else’s opinion. For example, your list might include factors where there’s quite a difference between the schools:
- Weather
- College sports
- Ethnic diversity
- Geographic diversity
- Student-to-faculty ratio
Good luck!
