Considering the factors you listed, I'll talk a bit about them addressing all the Unis you mentioned.

While all the unis are located in areas with good job opportunities according to me but their proximity to industries differs.
UIC, being in Chicago, has a stronger presence in the tech industry and is closer to a major urban area, which can lead to more job opportunities and internships.

Texas Tech is located in Lubbock, which is not as well-known for its tech scene but is still part of the growing Texas tech landscape.

MSU is in East Lansing, Michigan, and while not a tech hub itself, it has strong connections to the automotive and manufacturing industries, which increasingly require computer science skills.

All three universities have qualified faculty and offer solid computer science programs. UIC and MSU are generally more well-known for their computer science programs, while Texas Tech is considered to be strong in engineering disciplines.

I did a bit of digging to try and find the rankings of your mentioned unis and this is what I found

Michigan State University (MSU): #64 (tie) in Computer Science
University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC): #90 (tie) in Computer Science
Texas Tech University: Not ranked in the top 100 for Computer Science

To conclude, if you want really robust job opportunies and close access to tech industries, UIC is a good option. If you are more focused on getting a good CS program, then I'd suggest MSU. Hope that helps!

Then I'd strongly suggest MSU. It has a better CS program which will strengthen your chances of landing a good job outside Michigan or anywhere else as well :)
And I understand the financial stress. You aren't really gonna be at a disadvantage if you commit to MSU, it is a good school for CS.

It's not that you won't get any jobs in MSU, that's the worst case scenario. If you make the efforts, they will surely pay off and if you have the scholarship, take the advantage of it. I wish you the best of luck for the same!
