[QUOTE="bigtiny, post: 1187825, member: 7651"] "Christ, going back to '78-'81, tons of Chinese students, many many middle eastern, particularly Iranian, the handicapped student body (sorry if that offended anyone, that's what they were called in my day)...not to mention all the kids from downstate, Rockford, quad cities...I thought we were pretty damn diverse! This from a suburban boy.." This is actually consistent with what I was told by the parents. It had nothing to do with racial diversity - mind you, just that most students had a shared "Chicago/Illinois" experience. I think Illinois has accepted internationals - because they pay full price and are usually technically prepared to succeed. But I believe Illinois remains behind say Wisconsin/Michigan in accepting (and competing for) American students from other states - regardless of race. I do think Fillory's comment is true though, and likely played a role. [/QUOTE]
