I would recommend this school to anyone, however, I went to two years of junior college elsewhere before I went to the University of Illinois.

The history program had a handful of effective teachers, but for the most part they were there to research and publish and either didn't know how to or didn't care to be effective...

Once I began the education program, the overall quality of staff definitely increased, though there were still several that were in the same position as the ineffective history teachers.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is truly the all encompassing college experience. Living away from home, it really gives a sense of adulthood between having to take care of yourself and balancing school work and a social life. It really mimics the adult life that comes afterwards. The classes and professors themselves were intelligent and helpful, (while there is always that one that isn't, overall my professors were grand) and the campus was amazing. The architecture and interwoven... Read More nature was beautiful. The campus life was fascinating as well. Imagine a town run by young adults. Everywhere you went, there weren't many adults.
