Tufts, Penn State or Illinois for engineering?

“good engineering school with smart people around, a real campus feel, and not too far from the northeast.”

I believe Penn State would check off all four of those (especially if he applied to Schreyer? But engineering has a high concentration of very bright students regardless). I would visit the schools if at all possible. I wouldn’t want to commit to spending four years somewhere without stepping foot on campus.
