UIUC or UT austin for computer science

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the choice between two universities for a computer science transfer student from Peru. Both institutions, UIUC and UT Austin, are recognized as top-tier schools, offering excellent programs. Key considerations include climate preferences, as UIUC experiences harsh winters while UT Austin has hot summers. The student expresses a calm demeanor and a preference for less social activity, prompting inquiries about the program approaches at each university.

If it is for undergraduate, they are both excellent choices. Fantastic schools.

So the question is: do you like cold or warm weather? Small town or large city? You will have a bright career from either place.
 
Thanks for replying! I have never experienced cold weather but i think i can handle it. Just put on a jacket right?

I am a very calmed person, i don't like going out or partying. do the programs have different approaches?


another question, would it be difficult to stay and work after graduation?

Thanks

UIUC isn't just jacket cold. It is Cold. With a capital 'C'. I would ask to see if you know anyone who has lived in a climate like central Illinois. My father went to school there from Australia and it was very hard for him.

I have a friend who went to the UIUC CS program and she very much enjoyed it. Both UIUC and UT are top-tier schools. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

As far as staying for work, I don't know how hard it is to get a visa. However, I do know there is much, much more technology work in the Austin, TX area. It is one of the technology centers of the USA. If you go to UIUC you will have to move away almost certainly.
 
I can't recommend CS @ UIUC highly enough. Having said that, UT Austin is fantastic as well. UIUC will get extremely cold in the winter. It will be uncomfortable. UT Austin will get extremely hot during the summer.

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
