Hello,
I'll be transferring from a community college to one of these schools in the Fall. Only question is which one.
I'm having a surprisingly tough time. CU is the cheapest option, though they're no longer free. I'm concerned that they aren't well known enough, or that they might be slipping since they pulled their full scholarships.
UIUC is closer to my friends and family. UMich seems to be better known when I talk with people about it.
Austin is a cool city, but when I visited the campus a few years back, I really didn't dig the vibe. Maybe it'd be different now.
Any thoughts on college experience at these schools? Or perhaps on name recognition when applying for jobs or grad school? I assume CU has fewer businesses recruiting on campus, and fewer "perks" like study abroad. Obviously everyone recognizes state schools, but maybe something smaller and more exclusive would open up its own unique opportunities.
Any thoughts you have would be most welcome!
