UIUC VS U Michigan

[chuckgoestolhc]

Hi

I have been offered admission for MS in Mechanical Engineering at UIUC and U michigan ann arbor. Now I find both these univs equally good and am having a tough time deciding. The only difference I can find is the cost (UM costlier than UIUC) now if I dont consider cost as a factor please suggest something if you have any idea about these Univs. I havent got any financial aid from any of these.

both are pretty good for mechanical. You'll have to look up your interest area to see what the faculty in each school are doing which may give you a better idea of where is a better fit.

That being said. the state of Illinois is not financially solvent, the University is missing almost 500 million dollars from the state and they're looking at tuition hikes as means to riding this out so it may cost quite a bit more to go to Illinois.
