university should I attend to major in computer engineering?

Which college/university should I attend to major in computer engineering?
I have received acceptance letters from all five of the colleges I applied to earlier in the fall. For each of them I have been accepted into their computer engineering program. U of I (Urbana Champaign) University of Wisconsin Madison University of Minnesota Twin Cities Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Milwaukee School of Engineering I have an unweighted GPA of 3.88 and a composite ACT score of 30. I have a real passion for computers and I know for a fact that I want to major in computer engineering. And if it makes any difference, I currently live in the Chicagoland area. Any thoughts on which school I should pick? p.s. $ may become a bit of an issue in the spring if FAFSA doesn't turn out well, however I would appreciate advice that doesn't completely center around the tuition factor.

It doesn't matter as far as the material you will be required to learn, the employers who will hire you, nor long-term value of the school. All engineering programs that are accredited are looked upon similarly. Each school will tend to have recruiters from different companies come it to interview graduating seniors, and to offer internships. In general, MSOE tends to have the lowest reputation and in my opinion is in the worst area for living. Rose is a top rated non-graduate school. Since you are in Illinois, Champaign-Urbana is probably cheaper, warmer in winter than all but maybe Terre Haute, so based on those things, I'd suggest U of I. I think their colors are the worst. Sports at MSOE are pretty much non-existent, so you have to walk a mile or so thru bad neighborhoods to Marquette to see basketball.
