“My grandma, great aunt, and great uncle all went to Iowa, which is a majority of the family legacy. Iowa was the nicest campus out of all the places I looked at, including in-state. When I wanted to be an engineer, it had one of the nicest buildings for engineering. It’s expensive but more affordable than local in-state colleges. Out-of-state here is cheaper than in-state in Illinois.”
