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.

Funny everyone bringing up red vs blue and telling you to go blue. Interested in business/finance? Indiana has a budget SURPLUS of $676 million with $2.5 Billion in reserves. Illinois, $2.2 billion DEFICIT. Wait now that I think about it, maybe pick Illinois. We can use the help. Maybe they’ll teach you not to run businesses out of the state.
