I attended the University of Illinois several years ago, and I would not have exchanged that experience for any other college or univerity for anything.  I had other choices, but I wanted to major in chemical engineering.  You might not know that U of I is one of the top universities in engineering in the world.  I received a stellar education and promptly got a job with an oil company.  The University of Illinois is well-known for many other things--it competes well in many sports, for example--but scholarship is at the top of the list.   I had football season tickets while I was there, always great fun even during down years, and the basketball team is a positive.  The fans are incredible, and the college spirit is palpable.But my education was the best.  I studies with chemistry professors who wrote the textbooks used by most colleges and universities.  Same with other subjects.  Few people also know that the founding of the internet had its roots at U of I in its groundbreaking PLATO computer center/system.  Go to U of I!!! You can;t go wrong.
