Hey, I’m a junior in high school starting to look schools to become a civil engineer next year. It will probably come down to either Madison or Minnesota due to cost reasons. I live in Minnesota, but can get instate tuition at Wisconsin schools. Anyways, I was wondering about the civil engineering schools at these universities, and which one you think is better. I have been to both campuses numerous times, and although I have not taken a formal tour yet, I really like both schools. Which do you think has better opportunities for internships and whatnot? Are Madison students competitive in the Chicago area with IIT, Northwestern, and Illinois near there also? Which has a better reputation? Any input is welcome. Thanks.
