U of I intentially keeps the percentage of out of state low. Last year they talked about raising the percentage of out of state students and there was a big public outcry. Among big ten schools, U of I has one of the lowest if not the lowest percentage of out of state students. U of I is also the second most costly school in the big ten for in state students.Penn State is the most expensive. U of I runs about $26,000 for in state. U of Kansas is around $30,000 for OOS as a comparison. By the way, I am in suburban Chicago. My son did not apply to U of I–will be going to USC.
