<p>Did you really compare U of I to Northwestern, overall? <em>I really wanted to call this person a noob, but doing so would make me the big, bad wolf. AHAHA.</em> Go do your research and come back, telling this board what you learned. I really hate these type of threads. I don’t know if the topic starters are truly naive or just out to annoy the heck out of me. If this case is the former, then sorry kiddo. Learn to find the great aspects yourself. If it is the latter, you need a life.</p>
