UIUC M.Eng ECE vs UMich MS ECE - need help to make decision

Hello :),

I've admits from UIUC and UMich for ECE, and I'm confused to make a decision, so any inputs to clarify which is better in terms of academics, job prospects, courses offered, alumni network would help. My focus areas are Computer Architecture and VLSI, and I won't be doing thesis or PhD.

I see that UIUC offers wider variety of courses in Computer Arch and Systems in general, but M.Eng students are not offered TA/RA positions. Can I still work with Professors on projects? (I understand this would be without stipend).

My objective is to find a job relevant to CompArch after masters. I have heard that UMich brings in many companies to their career fairs and has a huge alumni network, which I believe is crucial given that the job market is poor, but I've no info about the same at UIUC. How is job prospect at UIUC compared to UMich?

Thanks!
