Some things to think about:

I have not heard that UMich’s program is a mess either.

I’ve also have not heard that UIUC lacks school spirits. From what I’ve seen, they have very enthusiastic fans.

Michigan wins hands down for location/college town. Ann Arbor is one of the best college towns in the country.

My daughter hated the idea of the bus as well so I think that is a valid concern. Our Michigan friends said it only mattered for the first three semesters though because after that, all their classes were on north campus.

What are the perks to the Honors program at UIUC? Is priority scheduling one of them? If so, that’s a big deal at large universities.

Honestly you will get a great education at either school. Just comes down to where you think you’ll fit in the best.
