Randy,
I attended classes at Benedictine in the 70s when the Illinois Police Training Institute rented classroom space from them... I went to Quincy College (now Quincy University)... played baseball for them... Very nice private college, small...
A couple of my daughters friends went to Carthage College in Kenosha and played baseball for them... said it was a great program...
Wheaton is a beautiful setting... good school from what I have heard... So is North Central... Don't know anything about Elmhurst other than that it is in the County where I was a LEO. Aurora University runs the graduate program my wife is attending... And, they have an adjunct campus on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin... that alone would be my choice if I could hook into that campus... beautiful place and great lake...
My email is posted so if ypou want me to look into anything further let me know I would be happy to help out... I know what an experience it is helping to choose a school... did it with three... All three of mine opted for state schools... UIC, Northern Ill, and Southern Ill...
