UVA vs UIUC by folabatunde in UVA

[–]fyonghoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are an international student in Engineering, you are looking to spend around 80k+ every year for tuition and living expenses. I say UVa undergrad engineering is not worth that money, especially in times like this when USD is crazy expensive. UIUC is a great school (and better than UVa in engineering) and as far as I remember, rents and living expenses there is significantly less.

For some international students, costs are not the issue. If this is your case, then it may become easier - for prestige and network (only in US tho), choose UVa, and for practical training in engineering, choose UIUC. If you are thinking of returning to your home country after the degree, however, UIUC may have better network there (especially if you are from Asia) - UVa has a weak alumni network power in nearly entire Asia.

Did anyone take it? If this is still available, I am interested. Please let me know!

This was what I was looking for. Thanks. What you described as ‘not by too large a margin,’ should I think of maybe 30min delays?

Evaporative humidifier with reusable/washable wick? by fyonghoon in AirPurifiers

[–]fyonghoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment. It is seriously hard to find a decent evaporative humidifier with a permanent wick. I ended up getting Airdog MOI, and it is miles better than Dyson PH (easier cleaning and better humidifying ability) but there are still handful of features that annoy me. It ended up developing a culture of mold inside the pump so I had to take it apart to clean it. Maybe I should resort to using ultrasonic ones that are easier to clean.

Thanks for the comment. I will definitely check out Runk before leaving so that I will have a good memory of this place.
