Not very reputed or prestigious
Small size
Low ranking

Uminnesota -56k/yr
Pros:
Cheaper than UCI
Fairly prestigious and well known
Better academics
Good Ranking #34

Cons:
In Minneapolis city but far from other big cities so less internship opportunities

UC Irvine -72k/yr
Pros:
Best academics
Very good location for internships and job opportunities
Best ranked among the three #28
More prestige and reputation

More Expensive(72k/yr) so will have to take additional debt(main Concern)

Tiebreaking considerations:
Umass boston and UC Irvine have good locations while Minnesota does not. Umass boston is not good academically like Uminnesota and UC Irvine. UC Irvine is very expensive.
