[quote=Anonymous]Easy to get caught up in ranks and college status mentality. Try to resist. I'd focus on your important characteristics for example - fit (vibe and size of classes, school and college town,, department strength if child has known interest) and encouraging your kid to work hard, enjoy and explore wherever they attend. I attended university of Wisconsin Madison (after high school in Illinois). My brother attended university of Illinois and liked it. After visiting both campuses, I felt Illinois seemed a kinda conservative campus environment. Madison was a better match for me. I got university housing and liked it, though seemed majority were in state WI students. Lots of my Illinois friends got private dorms, which tend to be more homogeneous around wealth and a region (North Chicago suburbs, NY, DC etc) . Am not a drinker or pot smoker, but found plenty of great people and activities. Good luck! Sounds like your child has some good options to consider.[/quote]
