<p>I got admitted to both for mechanical engineering. Is one a lot better than the other? I had my heart set on Iowa but now I can't decide. </p>
<p>I also got into Iowa State for aerospace, but I really did not like the campus and surrounding area. I have yet to go to University of Iowa but I will be visiting there soon.</p>
<p>I visited UIC but I'm not so sure I would like going to college in the city. I would commute everyday too, not sure how hard that would be. It would be even harder to commute because I plan on joining AFROTC.</p>
