Brother in law(Chinese) did his doctorate in Chem E at UIUC. He did well and is now in Silicon valley. It’s not glamorous, but is an excellent Engineering school.

UBC is pretty strong in Engineering/Applied Science also. Certainly a degree from UBC holds weight, both in Canada and internationally. AS you know, Vancouver has a large Chinese population/culture, great eating, and is a beautiful city. Champaign Urbana won’t have those “fringe benefits”.

Unless your family is wealthy, or you feel strongly about UIUC, I would think about UBC. The comfort level for you would probably be stronger there, and the cost would be a pittance compared to UIUC. Save your money, eat Dim Sum, and walk on the beach to relax. Could be worse, no?

Remember that UBC can be pretty demanding. Don't think you can waltz your way through it.
