<p>The U of I is one of the oldest programs in the country. It is a large program which allows for excellent networking. I read in one of the recent rankings that it is the best architecture program in the midwest. We visited recently and were extremely impressed. Over spring break we’ll be visiting a few other schools which have offered admissions, but I suspect that the U of I will come out on top. </p>
