UIUC vs Turing scholars at UT Austin for CS

A bit late to the party, but to give some very short and sweet answers:

  1. No.
  2. Neither, they are equal.
  3. Both are state schools with a relatively academically diverse student body, so there won’t be much difference between these.
  4. Again, these will be comparable. Finding differences here is splitting hairs at best.
  5. Neither of these is particularly known for leaning more towards research or industry, both being known in both areas.

In sum, choose based on fit/cost/gut here. The CS programs, especially with Turing at UT, are incredibly similar experiences. This decision should be made on other factors.
