I do not work for admissions at UIUC. I know that there is a poster in that school’s forums, drusba, who works in admissions there. I did my undergraduate work there but that’s it.

I can still answer your question though. Yes, most move away. Chicago in particular is largely devoid of aerospace-related stuff. There is some Hamilton-Sundstrand stuff up in Rockford but that isn’t a tone of people. Other than that, the nearest major aerospace work is in Indianapolis (Rolls-Royce) and, of course, St. Louis (Boeing and all the companies supporting it). A bit farther would be Cincinnati (GE Aviation).
