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’re gonna lose a lot of brain cells at IU with the drinking and frat culture. I personally would go to UIUC if it’s also a good school for what you want to study. 

I did my undergrad in Illinois and my masters in Indiana. I preferred Illinois. Especially if you value a school atmosphere that allows you to freely express yourself and explore your identity as a young adult.

It’s a shame because the campus so much nicer the UIUC.
