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. In fact, the only reason I went to the University of Illinois is because I had already taken classes there through my junior college. For whatever reason, my junior college offered those credits for students who intended to go to the U of I. I took advantage of that because it was much cheaper, and I didn't have to live in Champaign-Urbana as long. That was... Read More

One of the best schools in the USA for computer science. The courses are flexible and the instructors are wonderful, some of the course's grading system is not that great but overall it's fantastic, you will learn a lot from these courses. It very challenging as well, they follow rigorous training, projects, assignments, exam, and quiz. One need to study a lot but at the same time, one will able to gain great knowledge on each subject.

Attending University of Illinois was a life changing experience for me. I grew into the man I am today and set myself up for the future. The well-rounded experience at UIUC was the reason why. It's not just academics. It's not just extracurriculars. Its not just the social scene. It's all of it combined together. Few universities around the country offer top notch education, the #1 party school, and a diverse and intricate student body to interact with. I would highly recommend the University of... Read More

I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It was a transformational experience that allowed me to pursue not only a rigorous academic environment, but an engaging, humanistic one too. Studying in the College of Agriculture, Consumer, and Environmental Studies was the best option for me. I loved the people across the college from administration, professors, and fellow students. What we study is relevant, targeted, and research-based. Furthermore, it... Read More

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers competitive programs for high-achieving students. While better known for their Business and Engineering degrees, they also have a strong Liberal Arts program for a variety of majors. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a very large University, and that should be kept in mind when applying. If you are looking for a small classroom setting with a small student to professor ratio, then this might not be the best fit for you. If you are a self-managed... Read More

I loved UofI, it provided a great community for me to grow and learn. I loved the variety of classes offered and the campus itself was gorgeous. I had good relationships with my professors and was never afraid to ask questions or for help. I found that the on campus options for libraries and other places to study was amazing, there were places all over campus. There are also a variety of clubs and activities going on that it is easy to find your place somewhere in the larger university.

The University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) provided me with the greatest possible experience as an undergraduate student. I received all the help that a student coming from the small town of Manteno, Illinois could possibly ask for from the help of advisors, registered student organizations, professors, and students from class. UIUC is a large college town with a small town feel because there are so many different majors, you see a lot of the same people throughout your career in the major... Read More

I attend the University of Illinois for four years and obtained my undergraduate degree in civil engineering.
I think that the way that the university and especially the Grainger College of Engineering stands out is the resources they are able to provide for their students- which put you on the best road to success. Through the college I was able to attend career fairs which landed my first internship- which led to a full time offer, I was able to get free tutoring which helped me significant perform...

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaigne (UIUC) is probably one of the best schools that I could have gone to. I loved UIUC, and it's the educational environment. The school is rigorous, and they will make you into stellar candidates for medical school, graduate school, and for future jobs. I believe that they are exceptionally well rounded and have a plethora of opportunities that you, as a student can take advantage of during your time there, although the cons are the cost.

The buildings and grounds are amazing, but the dorms haven't been updated in decades. The quality of professors and adjunct staff varies widely and doesn't seem to follow a pattern - some that teach large freshman lectures were amazing, others weren't; some that teach intimate upper level courses were amazing, others weren't. 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... Read More

As a first generation college student, the idea of living on campus, 2 hours away from home, with forty-thousand other students was completely daunting. However, after taking a tour of the campus, I fell in love. I knew this was where I needed to be. My undergraduate experience at UIUC shaped me into adulthood by challenging my abilities and testing my faith. I established so many relationships, and friendships with students and faculties that I can still call on today. The diversity of the student... Read More

It is a big campus and easy to feel lost. The best thing to do is join a student group and find your family, especially when you are in a large program and do not get specialized attention from your professors or counselors. However, in terms of the student and career services, it was a great school.

UIUC has given me so much. Not only have I been trained and taught by the leading developmental researchers in the field, but I additionally have been given hands-on research experience throughout my undergraduate career. For 3 years, I have had the privilege to work in a research lab. In this position, I have gained insight into all that is required to make research plausible and done effectively. I was able to see all sides of research such as recruiting participants, data analysis, and running... Read More

I am sure that the University has changed much since I attended, but I loved the experience, the school and the town. I felt at home and valued the education I received there. I had excellent instructors and took classes that were interesting to me. I would highly recommend it, but it has since become increasingly expensive.

I turned 50 this year and this outreach program allowed me to go back to school to pursue a masters. The classes are great and challenging. The professor are very accommodating and helpful.
