Comp Sci huh, just saw that part :D


good luck, UIUC is top 5 for Comp Sci (atleast for Grad school, which is wat i was applying for)


CMU, i think is better than UIUC for comp sci

Lorax, would you mind me PMing you with some questions about the school?

I'm a junior at UIUC getting degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Math. If you have questions, I'll help you out if I can. I'll also volunteer SUKHOI's help in this matter because he also goes to UIUC. And he's my bitch. ;)
