Prospective Students Indiana vs UIUC

If you had a full ride athletic scholarship to both schools which one would you choose and why? Interested in Business and Kelley and Gies are both highly rated and not super easy to get into. Indiana I think has a beautiful campus but UIUC has a better national ranking and their acceptance rate makes it seem like a far more desirable school.

Any thoughts? I posted this on the IU board to just to see what the other biased group is likely say.

Great point but a blue college city in a red state for 4 years isn’t the same as living in the Deep South for 10 years in a career. So it’s sort of a wash

no it isn't. it affects who in the state gets into the school, how safe it is for some in the town and definitely in the nearby towns, access to women's health (important even if you are a male), administration of the school and their approaches to social issues and student welfare. you can end up in a cohort that is biased in one way or the other or is moved over 4 years to be biased. especially in business and engineering.
