Thank you very much for your reply! As you know, I am an international applicant, so my english is not well enough as a Teaching Assistant. It is really a pity. Furthermore, I cannot be able to work in companies, such as Boeing, Lockheed. The reason is also that I am an international student After Purude & UIUC, i got other two admissions, AE @ UT-Austin and ME @ USC, also no fundings. So what about Austin, when compared with Purdue? Which one do you think is better?

wow, amazing!! "3/4 of NASA research lab came from Purdue" Thanks! And are there many career opportunities in AE industry around Purdue ? Do you know that?

After all, UIUC is one of the top universities, so there are a lot of facilities, labs, lectures, academic activies. Do you think so? But the point is UIUC gives me non-thesis degree. Some of my friends told me: non-thesis degree might be disadvantageous when compared with thesis degree, especially applying for a PhD. I am not sure if what they said are ture. What do you think of this point? What kind of degree do you have?

Hi, thefuqu Thank you for your advice. As what you said, the ranking of Aero Eng @ Purdue might be higher than that of UIUC. But to some degree, UIUC is really a big university with other related resources which impressed me. So it is difficult for me to make a decision. Anyway, thanks again!

Hi, all Can any body give me some advice on the two schools? I am an International applicant, I hope to work in US after earning MS. So which admission should I accept ? Purdue University: Aeronautics & Astronautics, MS--Structure & Material no funding University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: Aerospace Engineering Non-thesis degree MS--Structure & Material no funding Thank you very much!!
