Chicago has a community college system, an expensive and exclusive public university (UIC), and a host of pricey private universities. Why on earth does a huge metropolis not have a low-cost, open admission university system?

For a public school, UIC is expensive. The tuition cost difference between UIUC and UIC is very small. UIC housing is more expensive, but that has to do with location. UIC undergraduate tuition and fees per semester for students entering fall 2006 is $4872.
UIC is a fairly selective school to get into. The average ACT is 23. The majority of students were in the top quarter of their high school class, and a full quarter were in the top 10%. UIC doesn't have grade inflation unlike Urbana. Many Urbana transfers or Urbana summer only students have been surprised by the rigor of our courses, and the fact that average is a mid C.
I'm just tired of people thinking UIC is an easy school.

New York is unique, and has a lot of things that the rest of the country ought to have. I don't say that to be smug, I only lived in New York for a few years.
