<p>That serves to identify which states are hooked for selective college admission, methinks.</p>
<p>Minnesota has reciprosity with Wisconsin. This means that MN students pay in-state tuition at Wisconsin schools. The same could be true for Illinois, which could be why those states send quite a few students.</p>
<p>No, Illinois does not have that deal. I am sure many parents would love it but the U of I would never allow it. They would lose too many good students.</p>
<p>Illinois sends many kids because Wisconsin is stronger in social sciences than U of I 's flagship school, and Madison is considered a much better college experience than Champaign. Also, the distance from Chicago and its wealthier suburbs is roughly the same.</p>

<p>Who else would he be talking about? The cows residing at dairy farms throughout the state?</p>
<p>Obviously. ;-) </p>
<p>I expected more of a challenge to that one but I really believe midwesterner hit it on all fours. Even my UI undergrad friends in grad school at UW who loved UI said they would have gone to UW for undergrad all other things being equal.</p>
<p>Rob tends to get a little flowery. He's very nice and would love to accept lots more kids.</p>
<p>One other factor is that Madison is a relatively good deal in comparison to other OOS prices....</p>
