<p>I'm from Massachusetts and I'm interested to know how many others there are from out of state who are going to UIUC since they just dropped the percentage (see this article: <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2006-08-30-state-universities-cover_x.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2006-08-30-state-universities-cover_x.htm&lt;/a>
actually they didn't decrease the percentage - they decided not to increase it, but anyway)</p>

<p>UIUC is the first college to give me a decision so naturally I'm pretty excited - but the big choice will be between UMass and UIUC.</p>

<p>so out of staters....unite.....here. yeah.</p>

<p>so what would bring you guys to uiuc instead of your own state (or province or whatever) college?</p>

<p>while uiuc isnt terribly expensive for out of state residents (well, compared to michigan) it's still more than zero dollars, which is about how much umass would cost me (considering scholarships they give for our state standardized test etc).</p>

<p>what made you all consider ui?</p>

13

<p>Well the fact that Engineering is ranked 4th in the country is a start. And once i got on campus i loved the feel of everything around. That and Ohio state isnt the best and i kinda wanted to get away from home for awhile. Everything just fit together nicely....</p>
