<p>well, I think the decision should also be based on your major. If you’re going to Business, Illinois is about as good. If you’re going to engineering, Illinois is AMAZING. The prestige of Illinois among international engineers is equivalent to MIT and Cal Tech (not exaggerating here). I know first hand because my father works for a London company in Singapore and Illinois grants you instant recognition. </p>
<p>If you’re talking about something other than Business or Engineer, then I’m not knowledgable enough to say though I must say that UM has a ridiculous OOS price (and Detroit is dying fast).</p>
