<p>I want to do electrical engineering. I live in Illinois.
My first choice was University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. Unfortunately I didn't get into its engineering college but was offered general studies (undecided). This just pi$$ed me off. So, I'm now seriously considering UW-Madison and Georgia Tech. Can you guys give me some info about campus life and education there?</p>
<p>Goto Illinois, succeed in inter-collegiate transfer, and save some money.</p>
<p>GT--campus life negative. UW campus life awesome.</p>
<p>UW -Madison gets my vote. I can honestly tell you I have not been to GT, but have been to Madison many times. Also, if you decide to change majors, you have a ton of options. Great academics, great sports, great social atmosphere.</p>
<p>Agreed, go to U-Wisconsin. Best undergraduate experience of the three.</p>
<p>IS at U Illinois is about $8500 while OOS at U Wisconsin is about $21k. Not huge, but not inconsequential. </p>
<p>U Wisconsin is going to have the best campus life of the three, but U Illinois ain't so bad either. GT can be fun, but its male/female ratio (68/32) is less than ideal and would be the social laggard of this group.</p>
<p>Weather differences are obvious and real.</p>
<p>Postgraduate placement options should also be considered as all will place best in their home regions. Where do you want to be after college?</p>
