UIC vs SIU - please help me decide!

Currently, I am deciding whether to attend UIC (most likely Rockford campus) or SIU. Could anyone help me with some arguments why one of these is better than the other? Please disregard the tuition differences, since I am already aware of these. Thank you so much for your input!
