Where should i go to school?

firstly well done on getting into aerospace engineering. it is really hard to get into where I live in Australia. I don't know much about American Uni's but I think you should go for Michigan if you think you are going to love it so much. Illinois may have a better reputation in this field but it is still the same sort of thing and Michigan can't be that bad in comparison and you will have a blast there. But I think either way it shouldn't matter. you will do the course and have fun either way so don't worry too much.
