COMPARE University of Illinois Urbana Champaign MFE vs University of North Carolina at Charlotte MSMF

So far I got acceptances from UIUC MSFE and UNC Charlotte Mathematical Finance. There curriculums seem pretty similar. I'm leaning towards UIUC MSFE because of the reputation of the engineering department and the proximity to Chicago.

What do you guys think?

THanks

Bet on better reputation if everything else is similar.

I heard Citadel,CTC,etc are recruiting from UIUC MFE. Call and find out if this is true.
