UIC is a large, urban, public university, so a person who decides to attend it should be independent and should realize that the university has a lot to offer, but that nothing will be simply handed to them.

Someone who is self sufficient and can do things on their own. No one will hold your hand here unless you look hard for someone. And even then the University expects you to be able to do things on your own, which for me was a good thing. For some, it won't be the same story.

The kind of individual that should seek enrollment at UIC, should be one that is mentally prepared for passionate teachers. And by passionate I mean teachers who will require you to know just as much as they know about the given subject. It is hard work to do this, so be prepared also to endure hours of studying (basically improving your craft of learning.) In a nutshell, a person that is in pursuit of success need apply ASAP!
