<p>Stanley, i think your smartest move is to stay home at UIUC or go OOS to UW (high match OOS) or UM-Twin Cities (match OOS). </p>
<p>The Illini are #7 in Psychology.
The Badgers and Gophers are tied for 9th.</p>
<p>And they all have enough strong programs that if you change your mind – something a lot of students do – they’ll have what you’re seeking.</p>
<p>UW is better than Minnesota overall but it’s about $13000 more annually OOS. </p>
<p>Rankings are subjective, obviously, but UW was recently ranked #25 in the world by UWUR. Some of the variables of that ranking are questionable, but others are pretty valid (like teaching quality).Michigan is #21, Northwestern #23 and Duke #26 by comparison.</p>
<p>UIUC is comparable to UW and is your in-state flagship.</p>
