According to the financial website earnspendlive.com, there is one college in Illinois that is not worth attending: Devry University. Why does Devry, mainly an online school, get the lowest marks in the Land of Lincoln? On the site they say...

"It has a physical location in Illinois, so this is why it’s ranked as the worst in this state. In Illinois, the campus has a 20.6% graduation rate, leaving students with over $30,000 in loan debt. What we found strange is that DeVry has a high default rate, according to CollegFactual. However, students that do graduate earn a median salary of $44,100 after six years."
