Thank you. Why not ucd?

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

Elon or Fordham for business?

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)

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!!
