All three of those are generally considered more prestigious. When it gets to the level that all four of these schools are on, it really comes down to the programs you want and what you want to get out of school. It's impossible to say "Cornell is better than UT-Austin" because they offer remarkably different experiences with their high levels of education.

I've looked into all of these schools because of their engineering programs and they are all top ten programs so for engineering there all great, but it's almost impossible to compare UC and Ivy league schools to schools like UMich and UT. If i had to choose one i would definetely go with Texas just because of the great enviroment in Austin.

What makes umich so expensive compared to UT? It's just a state school isnt it?
