I'm very familiar with Wheaton. That's a hidden gem just outside Chicago. I'd go to Wheaton over DBU if all things are equal. Davidson is a good place too.
Let me throw a couple of similar colleges in the mix: Belmont (Nashville), Campbell (just outside Raleigh, NC).
We like Wheaton a lot. My only concern is that it's too close to home.
I just wouldn't want him spending a lot of his weekends at our house. I really want him to enjoy his college experience and meet new people/friends. Like I stated earlier, Illinois is a great school, but I'd hate for him to go down there and run around with all his high school buddies. quote:

That's not a bad idea at all. Nashville is a tremendous city and it's only 6 or 7 hours drive (cheap direct flights as well). We've been down there a couple of times for Blackhawks-Predators games and he's loved the city. I actually wouldn't mind investing in a house or apartment facility in Nashville as well....Do you know anything about Belmont's programs?

I'll look into this as well. Thanks for the recommendation.

They have a well regarded music school, as might be expected. Not just performance, but management, production, etc.

Belmont is pretty strong academically. They are in Vandy's shadow (literally down 21st Avenue from Vandy), but they have some great programs. They have an active Greek system (unique for a Christian school), and compete at the Division I level. They regularly make the NCAA Tournament in basketball - and with no football, its a big deal.
An interesting anecdote, they won the "Academic March Madness" bracket this year.

Campbell is unique because its a small college atmosphere with the advantage of being near the Research Triangle. They have partnerships with UNC and Duke that really help the prestige of that place. Again, a mid to high 20s ACT score would really prosper at a place like Campbell.
