[QUOTE="bigtiny, post: 1182137, member: 7651"] Hi, old alum here, living out of the area. Saw this article today in the Trib [url]http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-university-of-illinois-tuition-0122-20160121-story.html[/url] I'm curious about this statement "Illinois students have turned down the U. of I. to attend other Midwest institutions that offer competitive tuition — even for nonresidents — and better financial aid packages". What schools are today's students picking over U of I? Back in the day I remember a good academic scholarship at Bradley might win a kid over Illinois. The occasional wealthier kid who also got into Michigan/Wisconsin would occasionally choose that over Illinois despite OOS tuition. What's now called Truman State was just becoming more competitive and stealing an occasional Illinois acceptee. Iowa, Indiana, and Arizona State were generally for those who didn't get into Illinois. I'd love to hear the word on the street among today's youth, who is compelling these days? [/QUOTE]
