About Springfield, Illinois
Springfield is the capital city of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat of Sangamon County. The land that Springfield now occupies was visited first by trappers and fur traders who came to the Sangamon River in 1818. Springfield has been home to a wide array of individuals who, in one way or another, contributed to the broader American culture. (Wikipedia)

Graduates here tend to earn well relative to what they borrow — typical debt pays back fast, and most out-earn a high-school graduate.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
