for those who do not want to go thru the survey first to view that article:

Recently Forbes came out with its 2014 top 100 colleges list, which
includes four Illinois schools in its Top 75. From Forbes’ rankings, which
covered more than 600 schools, we pulled out the top 15 Illinois colleges.

As a refresher, here are the top 15 colleges in Illinois as ranked by Forbes:

Northwestern University (#19)
University of Chicago (#24)
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (#68 )
Wheaton College (#75)
Knox College (#149)
Lake Forest College (#236)
Illinois Institute of Technology (#247)
Augustana College (#248 )
Illinois Wesleyan University (#253)
Bradley University (#278 )
Loyola University Chicago (#312)
DePaul University (#320)
University of Illinois, Chicago (#361)
Elmhurst College (#459)
Illinois State University (#478 )

What is noticeable from the list of Illinois colleges is the schools are a
mixture of private and public colleges, with tuition rates varying
accordingly. While public colleges generally cost less than private schools,
the cost of a public college education for in-state students has gone up in Illinois.

Here is a look at what incoming freshmen for the 2014-15 school year will be paying to attend the Top 15 Illinois schools on the Forbes list:

Northwestern University $47,215
University of Chicago $50,196
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign $18,104
Wheaton College $31,900
Knox College $40,497
Lake Forest College $41,172
Illinois Institute of Technology $41,784
Augustana College $37,236
Illinois Wesleyan University $40,844
Bradley University $30,844
Loyola University Chicago $40,866
DePaul University $34,930
University of Illinois, Chicago $15,629
Elmhurst College $34,325
Illinois State University $13,126

Many of those schools saw an increase in tuition and costs from the 2013-14
school year to the 2014-15 school year. In fact, almost all four-year
colleges in Illinois saw a tuition increase of some degree. For some
schools, the increase was minimal, but for a few it was an increase of
over 10 percent.

BTW - all the public schools in Illinois are jacking tuition up!
