<p>I'm from Illinois and would like to stay in the midwest. I wouldn't mind going to a Chicago school if it weren't a commuter school.
Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Loyola Chicago? University of Evansville?</p>

<p>I looked at Loyola Chicago and most of the kids that go there commute. I wanna live on campus. But I'll look into UEdwardsville, thanks.</p>

4

<p>How about St. Louis University, Quincy,or SIU?</p>

<p>first of all iowa state is deff a safety, nearly a sure thing. A good safety/match would be depaul in the chicagoland area. Also look at University of Wisonsin-Madison youve got a pretty good chance of getting in there and its a really good school</p>

6

<p>Michigan State, Indiana.</p>

7

<p>Wisconsin-Madison is no safety school. #34 in the country and much harder out of state.</p>

<p>Try Ohio University, Indiana University, University of Kentucky, and Missouri-Rolla.</p>

<p>Cool, I'll look into all of these. Thanks everyone.</p>
