thanks guys! It really came down to Illinois vs Penn State, and I know that Penn State is recruiting hotspot, but I felt that Illinois B-School did have a better rep, and that if I wanted to change my major(to pre-law), Illinois would have a better program. I think I will be majoring in Finance, and right now I’m not really concerned with how laid-back the other students are, I’m there for myself and will do the best that I can without worrying about other kids, although a ‘smarter’/more competitive peer group certainly will help with motivation and overall school rep in the future. There is a strong chance I will attend law school/get my MBA after Illinois, so recruiting right out of college wasn’t the deciding factor in my selection, and because of that I think I’m gonna go to Illinois. Even though its farther away from home, I have a few friends going there and have had several family members graduate from UIUC who loved it.
