Now you're headed in the right direction...

Did the great thinkers of the world go to a certain university?

So how long will you be going to school in (assuming) Illinois?

How long do you plan on being living and wantingto eat hot food and sleep indoors?

Go to the best college(in your mind) and then begin your life where-ever.

Not everyone who lives in Illinois has been robbed, raped, shot, stabbed, beaten or taxed to death. I know, I met one of them just a few years back.

Go where God sends you. If it is IL then rejoice and be happy. If it is CO then rejoice and be happy.

While there are many people who claim that they'd never live in CA, IL, NY, NJ and other states because of their gun laws, I firmly believe a lot of them would question their own convictions if they were in a position such as yours. Stay away from Chicago; otherwise go where you can get the best education and opportunity.

I am considering going to a seminary in both states, with the cost of living and the cost of tuition approximately the same, or with scholarships much cheaper in Illinois. The difference between the two is that the one in Illinois is by far more prestigious and I believe I will get a better education there, with better employment opportunities in the future. Both townships are good towns

I think you just answered your own question, best of luck to you.

Denver AWB

Don't forget, Denver has its own assault weapons ban

It is very simple, no rifle mags over 20 rounds is the main point. I'm in Illinois, despite the unfriendly environment on firearms, I can own magazines that hold over 20 rounds in my part of the state.

If I were you, I would plan part of my decision on where I want to be after school and how each school will help me get there. If you aren't sure, that is a reason to pick a more prestigious school. While it may not make a lot of difference years later when you are job hunting/moving on, it may help with your first job out of school.

Unless you live in the city and county of Denver, you can have pretty much what you want. Relative to the rest of the state, or even the metro area, that is a very small area.
