This is very helpful, but could be even MORE helpful, if you could select a
"miles from home" button. For example, we live in the Chicago suburbs, and are primarily interested in Unis in the Midwest. Currently, you can select the surroundings, ONLY by State. The problem is that Houghton MI, the home of MI Tech is too far to go, IMHO, and so I would like to search by either "Miles from Home", or Time from Home".

We could also then rank and seperate out University of Iowa, 3 hours away, from Iowa State, which is 5 1/2 hours away.

However, in the big picture, Yeah, we can look at a map, and furhter limit choices based on distance all on my own...but I DID see your "suggestion" button, so there you are!

Thanks for listening, and good luck with upgrades.
