I am an international student and I am not very clear which school I should choose. As a reseult, I want to hear from some American guys’ opinion about my choice of schools.
1.UIUC, major: DGS
2.Purdue University, major: mechanical engineering
3. University of Minnesota, major: mechanical engineering
4. Drexel University major: mechanical engineering, with 5 year $18000 per year and honor program

I have heard from many advice from my classmates of my mainland, they most choose uiuc for its reputation. But what I most care about is whether it worth of 45k per year after I transfer into the engineering college? I really want some advice from the Americans. It is said the co-op program at Drexel is renowned and help a lot in the future, but its rank is the lowest one. If I choose it seems unreasonalbe?
It is said that Americans think that private schools are leading a lot in the aspects of the undergraduate education compared to the public school at the same level, and most of them will choose a private school when it is possible, right?
My intend major is some kind of engineering.
Appreciate your time and attention for reading and advice.
