I am contemplating which school to join for upcoming fall intake.

I would be an international student and would be taking out loan.

Could someone provide clarity which would be the best program if I plan to go for Phd later.

Currently no update on scholarship from UIUC but Fordham has provided $20k scholarship.

Fordham is looking great to right now, given the location and scholarship.

Which one should I go for? Fordham or UIUC ?
