Cost is not an issue. Thanks!!


These are all very different schools. What vibe does your DC like best? I think UIUC is a good mix of academics + social life.


Thanks!!

I would pick UCSD or UNC.

UCSD has a good reputation for science among the UCs.

UNC is the most rah-rah which makes me think extrovert but they have good science graduate programs.


I would select UVA or UNC for the campus experience. UCSD is not in the same caliber as UVA (I am a California resident). UCSB is wonderful, but I don’t think it has strong job placement.


Yes, it is, especially for a science kid (Virginia resident who's a UCSD grad)

Because both UIUC and Purdue are known for their engineering programs, while UCD is known for their agriculture related programs. Go Aggie!!
