Treetopleaf, do you know how many Ruggs pgms are present in IWU? It is a small LAC, but thought I 'd ask.

also-UIC has a strong philosohy pgm, too. But agree that UIUC is the state flagship. But more than academics, you are living at the school for four yrs. UIC is right in the center of the city of chicago along the 'el' and you can get anywhere you want on the train/bus system - both the intra-city trains as well as the suburban metra system. So there is a different feel there - depends on what you want. There (must be) more diversity at UIC than UIUC, if that is your thing, too. Don't know the exact stats. I went to uic and had visiting philosophy profs from oxford, harvard and u of c, among other places. Only afterwards did I find out how well regarded that pgm was. I saw tons of int'l and a variety of ethnic group too.
