Midwestern vs. Illinois

[lmmm43]

Really struggling to decide between Midwestern and University of Illinois. Accepted to Midwestern in December, just got pulled off Illinois waitlist. Financially, both schools would turn out roughly the same, and my parents are able to cover the costs. I was hoping to connect with any current students/recent grads from both schools who could provide insights.

UIUC additional fees/COL prices, but if you have insurance through your parents (or other insurance), that campus fees goes down because they’re adding the student insurance cost in (Midwestern adds it as a separate line item in COA)
