Should I be filing as MFJ or MFS?

Hi,
I have a peculiar case and need your opinion here
1) I am staying & working in MN and make close to $60,000
2) My wife is staying & studying in WI and she has an on-campus job, earning close to $10,000.
So basically our state of residence is different and so is our tax bracket. So I am not sure whether I should be filling jointly or seperately.
If I am filing jointly, I would end up paying a lot of state tax to WI.
We do not have any student loan, however I am supporting her tution fees and I suppose that would be taken into account irrespective of whether we file jointly or seperately.

Thanks,
Madhu
