<p>Does anyone have any idea which school has a better name in Biology? Both schools sell themselves as being tops in research, etc…we are in state for UIUC, would really hate to have my student travel so far if UVM is not as good…</p>
<p>I can’t speak to the Biology rep for the schools. I am sure they are both good, but I can tell you that socially at UVM your student better like to ski. A lot of the kids go skiing/boarding on the the weekends to the many ski resorts nearby.</p>
<p>Can not find the ranking for undergraduates, but the USNews has a ranking for graduate for Biological Sciences.</p>
<p>UIUC = 29.
University of Vermont = 122</p>
<p>You are also an instater of Illinois. So, no doubt! Go to UIUC.</p>
<p>Thank you both! We are only considering Vermont because they gave her so much $$$. Still, with travel costs would be nearly as much as UIUC. Thanks for your help!</p>
