Is Knox well known in Illinois and the surrounding region? I’m interested in Knox, but a few things concern me:

1) reputation. Is it well known? I know that this should not be a concern, and that I should try to find the place w/ the best fit. Nevertheless, I am curious to know the answer/ any perceptions you guys might have.

2) one quote i read in the PR 2005 Best 351 colleges: “The weekends are weak, unless your friends consist of Keystone and Bud Light” …I don’t think I’m gonna be a big drinker, and the fact that the campus is in the middle of nowhere and highlighted for “hard liquor is popular” concerns me. Also, as a guy, I don’t want to be looked down upon if I don’t drink…and I don’t want to get bored either.

Any comments would be much appreciated.
