[QUOTE="Illinois88, post: 1207018, member: 2273"] I do know that an in-state kid may feel Illinois is too Midwest centric, even too much Illinois/Chicago centric, in that he wants a more US geographically diverse student body, but Illinois definitely isn't lacking in international students so I think the young man's gripe is a little misguided. It's natural for people to segregate themselves with people who have similar interests and, dare I say it, ethnic backgrounds e.g. ethnic clubs/fraternities/sororities. In my undergraduate experience as well my siblings international students usually befriended fellow international students more. It is what it is. Concerning U of M. My cousin attended U of M and most of his friends came from his karate and equestrian club. I know a few from Yale and a majority of their friends came from the interest groups they belonged to - many of which were from the states. [/QUOTE]
