[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These rankings are a joke. [b]Illinois ranked above Wisconsin? All the smart Chicago kids would rather go to Madison than Urbana Champaign[/b].[/quote] but that is a measure of popularity, not the quality of the school. [/quote] Wisconsin is a much higher quality school. Everyone but UWNWR thinks so. [/quote] U of I's SAT scores are higher than Wisconsin's. Madison is a more lively town as state capital and it's closer to the northwest suburbs of Chicago than Urbana-Champaign which is a college town in the middle of nowhere. (Plus a lot of those suburban Chicago kids who say they want to go to UW didn't get into UofI and won't admit it and have parents who can afford the out of state tuition--they'd rather go to a flagship school of another state than one of the "directional" state schools -- this happens with University of Iowa too which is also just a couple hour train ride away from Chicago.
