Thread: University of Illinois at Chicago vs University of California, Riverside

Hey Sara,

Which one is providing you with good financial aid options?

Hi Sherzil,

Actually I applied a bit late..both didn't provide any financial aid ..UIC, aid is difficult as u may know.. but which of the two universities do u think is better in terms of job opportunities, internships,department, etc..?

Thanks

regards,
sara

This is a very tough call sara, both of the universities are great in terms of computer science and have a decent tuition fees as well. One is situated in riverside which i don't know what kind of place is it (in terms of population,pollution etc..) and the second one is located in Chicago which is among the top 5 places of USA. Moreover we have to consider surrounding as well because its you who have to adjust with the people. I researched for these universities, have a look at what they say :

University of California - Riverside
University of Illinois - Chicago

Do you have any of your close friends already studying there in any of those universities?

Hii Sherzil,
Thanks a lot for those links ..no,i don't have any friends studying at UIC or UCR..if u know anyone plz introduce me to them

University of Illinois - Chicago
University of California - Riverside

Hope this helps you out. Best of luck!
