Hi @NewSR1 my daughter was too worried about this issue and chose a school in Illinois – we are also from Illinois so it is in state tuition. I know being from DC the midwest can seem like all in one (fly over country! LOL), but there are a lot of differences between the states. Illinois tends to be different demographically and politically than other midwest states like Indiana, Missouri or Kansas. Check out the class for this year’'s freshman class at University of Illinois at Champaign Urbana just as an example. I have lived in Indiana before and my husband (mexican) received horrible treatment by many businesses, police and people. ISU sits in Steve King’s district - that was a huge deciding factor (along with the sad % numbers for diversity for my daughter).
