Go wherever it makes most financial sense. If you are in-state at any of these schools, go there. Period. Academically, they are all equal.

If you are out of state for all, Illinois would be last on the list. As a Chicagoan my whole life, I have been down to Champaign many times. The weather ain’t great, to say the least, and the town ain’t too happening. Yes, it’s a Big Ten school, but Ann Arbor is a lot more fun(also has better sports to root for!). And the student body is 80+% from the Chicagoland area. Not very geographically diverse.

I say go where it’s warmer. To pay out of state for the U of I, when those other choices are available, I say no.
