For some, this may be a no brainer, but after doing my bachelors at a school in the middle of no where, I've greatly realized the mental, business, and career benefits of being next to a city. This particular point is why I'm considering UCSD. Is it foolish for me to think this way? If so, how foolish? Let's assume I'm getting funded for a TA position at both and I'm looking to do research in either AI or Systems. Is UIUC really worth the location? Thanks very much! Also, for those who may wonder, "why mental?" What I mean by that is your population isn't exclusively students, and the weather doesn't suck.
