<p>I think I was unclear in my last post. I agree that UC seems like a better design school than U of I, but I meant the reputation of the whole university. Or maybe it’s just because I live in Illinois-- no one here knows anything about UC, except for about the sports teams, the Bearcats. One friend’s mom is an architect and she knew all about DAAP. My sister has two friends that applied to CCM but until they got there, they didn’t really get that it was a part of UC. Thanks again for all your help.</p>
