<p>Also, which one would be easier to get into for an out of state student?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>I would choose the one in the region where you hope to work after college.</p>
<p>Close on both accounts. Both cover the midwest well for jobs with UI better in Chicago which has more to offer than Minn-St. Paul IMHO. UI places better nationally too.</p>
<p>UI is much more expensive OOS. UMN has great OOS rates. </p>
<p>But with that being said, I like UIUC a lot and they have decent ties to Chicago, considering it is like, what, 4 hours away?</p>
<p>Personally I liked UI’s campus better too. UI has a great reputation for business, especially accounting.</p>
<p>I would say Urbana simply because of its job placement in Chicago.</p>
