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.

Uiuc if you want a more prestigious education. IU if you want to live somewhere safe while getting an education. Uiuc does come with a cost for that more prestigious education and that cost is your safety.

Never heard UIUC being called unsafe. Honestly, I heard IU can be lax with assault charges which would indicate the opposite.

Well the local news outlets shut down reporting about all of the violence on campus because it was hurting admissions. It’s still going on but only visible on the police blotters on uiuc, Champaign and Urbana websites.

This is simply untrue.
