@CheddarcheeseMN Although not significantly worse, it is worse than even UIC.
The quality of the education might be great, but it’s underrated for a reason and employers will look at it the same way. If choosing between UIC or NIU, I would pick UIC without question. But that really isn’t the issue.
@whenhen Hard to predict the job market. Also not sure where I’ll be employed so costs will greatly vary. I agree 100% that logically it makes more sense to attend UIC than DePaul for the price, but are there any better quality schools that will cost me the same as DePaul but offer a better education? Also I don’t mean financial-need aid (since I’m really never eligible), I mean scholarships. DePaul for instance gives me $3,000 per year for my GPA.
