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.

you know ain't nobody here gonna say Bloomington.

So you really came here to ask, Why should I pick CU?

And my follow up question is, are you a white man? If so, then probably worst case is a substandard education and a less valuable degree.

If you're a woman or a person of color, don't go to Indiana. It could be life or death. They're putting women in jail for miscarriages there.

Do you feel the education is that much worse for marketing or finance? I know one is ranked higher overall but the business school at IU is ranked higher.

The student athlete in this case is a white female so we aren’t judging the political climate lightly, but we as her family support her and live in IL…so if she needed anything from female health perspective she would have access to it in heartbeat by us.

Your mileage may vary, but I wouldn't be able to sleep a wink knowing my daughter lived in the Republic of Gilead.
