I'm writing a paper that goes something like this:

To quickly summarize MIT is located in Massachusetts FIU is in Florida, The tuition cost for MIT is 45 thousand versus 6 thousand for 30 credits in FIU, MIT....(etc)

My question is, in a situation like this, if I use a : or a ; after "To quickly summarize" or just leave it how it is, how will it affect the text? How do I know when to use ; and : properly?
