Tough choices, but rest assured all of your choices are good ones! UIUC does have alot of what you ask for: famous internationally for the engineering school especially, no problems with descrimination here (huge international population), and well, it’s friendly because it’s midwest. I don’t know that much about PSU, but I understand the East Coast isn’t as friendly as the midwest (please don’t bash me, east coasters, I’m just trying to be helpful!) and I don’t think Drexel is as well known. UT is great school, well known and all, probably similar to many ways as Illinois. Climate will be better, but not sure about racial descrimination.

A lot of it will depend also on how much money you want to spend. My son is turning down a boatload of money to go to Illinois (sigh), but I think in the long run it’s a good choice. A degree from here will always be meaningful.
