About Colleges in the Midwest
The Midwest is home to a number of top colleges and universities that vary significantly in terms of their size, culture, campus setting, and academic strengths. Many of the large Big Ten Universities are located in the Midwest, as are some great liberal arts, Catholic and engineering colleges.
The Midwest colleges featured on our website are nationally recognized as being top U.S. colleges and they have even stronger reputations in the Midwest region. Regional reputation and the location where most alumni settle is important to consider when selecting a college. For example, if you are interested in living in Chicago after college and you are considering colleges throughout the U.S., you might want to apply to more colleges in Illinois and the surrounding states as many of the companies that recruit from those colleges are likely to be in the Chicago area, as are alumni.
