I have visited UIUC, Wisconsin, and Purdue (of course UMich too) this Summer. They are all very different. Purdue is very compact particularly after all the new buildings for engineering within the last 6-7 years. The engineering campus of UIUC is really great. Too bad that I did not take the Engineering tour as Chemical engineering is not directly under the engineering school and we went to the LAS session. Wisconsin is the biggest among the three and the campus environment is great. The engineering has a new building and there is some construction going on right next to it. The campus over all is great, but the engineering campus is not as attractive as the UIUC one. Among the three engineering campus, we like UIUC the most. If you like large campus, you will like Wisconsin more. The lake view is definitely a plus. Purdue is a kind of small and it is in the middle of corn fields. We almost got lost on the way there as some of the roads are not even on the map or GPS.
