UIUC vs UW (Computer Science, Software Eng)
in 2010-2015 Archive

I've got offers from U of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) and UW in Seattle for PhD in Computer Science and my field of research is software engineering.
Both programs are great and rank about the same in US News.
The funding I get from both places will be about the same (UW pays more in summers but the rent is higher, so that almost levels out -- although obviously Urbana will be cheaper to live, say I estimate by $250/mo).
Pros for UIUC:

Potential advisers @ UW:
[*]2 advisers, but I really only see myself working with one. High expectations and a broad research field. The other adviser is more relaxed;
So, if anyone has any comments, I would be glad to know what you think, especially:
[*]How small of a town is Urbana? Will I be regretting later that I chose to spend 5 yrs there?
[*]How large is the reputation difference between these unis? Will that likely effect my career later?
thanks.
