I talked with my parents.

Over Spring Break I am visiting: Indiana, Ohio State, and Kentucky.
I'm going to miss a day of school some time to visit: Alabama and Auburn, and Penn State.

Good list. I think you'll enjoy all of the schools you picked.

I wanted to go out west but they say it's too far. I thought about Iowa also but I also read some pretty negative things on here about their being very resentful towards outsiders? I think that's a good list. I heard Indiana has a very solid Undergraduate English Department.

Yeah, "outsiders" from Chicago. And I'm fairly certain that they get the term "FIB" thrown at them quite a bit, especially when driving.

It's time for me to say this again. You really need to talk to your guidance counselor. This is no way to pick a college! At least buy a USNews college guide if you don't want to talk to anyone.

OK i didn't hear it. It's from the Gourmon Report

You're right there are a TON of students from Chicago, there are also a lot of international students too. "FIB" ... what's this mean? Please explain.
