Search the forum for “Illinois Engineering” or “UIUC Engineering” and you’ll find people who asked the same thing a few years ago.

Also look at the UIUC forum, since this forum is going to tell you to go to UW.

I would visit both to make sure, but the extra 20k per year is probably not worth it even if he ends up liking UIUC more. Both schools are very good for Engineering.
