It's nice and spaciest.
I have yet to even be at this school for a year, but immediately, I was stunned by the number of opportunities this university offers. There's always something to be involved, some way to have fun, and some way to try something new. It's easy to make a comfortable adjustment to adult life here, and so many people here are incredibly nice and helpful.
I really like most of my professors and get along well with my peers. There is partying, but it is easy to avoid if you do not want to be involved. The only negative thing I can think of is that I personally find the administration's higher-ups to be corrupt. Unfortunately, I would not be surprised if this is a common theme. Again though, I am grateful to get to attend this school. I have a lot of fantastic opportunities that I hope to take advantage of, and I have made some incredible friends.

Simply put, college is the best thing that has ever happened to me (I intend to use this phrase with the upmost emphasis) when one is to consider where I have come from. Coming from a gang infested neighborhood where one is expected to indulge and be influenced by negative and suggestive exemplifactions everywhere, one would have most likely expected me to fall short of any positive opportunity. Fortunately that has not been the case at all. Being the self -motivated individual that I am and still becoming, I have ignored all obstacle that would deter me from experiencing the many joys of college. Here at the U of I I have gotten the chance to be surrounded by individuals with goals and passions similar and different from my own, and this has been extraordinarily valuable to me . Merely being around individual with a drive to be positive, intelligent, and successful has motivated me to volunteer, study hard, make friends all for the goal of becoming a better person. College is the piece of the puzzle that my neighborhood lacked, and because of my experience here thus far, I am and will forever be truly thankful.
Depending on the major, the majority of the students here are career-driven and hardworking (although uncaring students aren't too hard to come by, either).
I love that it is a college bubble. I love that the students live here, work here, play here, etc. Your friends are always going to be within a ten minute bus ride of you.
The limitless resources at hand whether it comes to undergraduate/graduate research, general studying, or job searches make this school unique. The opportunities for intellectual development are given to everybody and everybody has a chance to shine.
Academics are rigorous at the University. Not just anybody can get in. Professors challenge you so that you have an idea of what will happen in the real-world as well as give you unique perspectives.
Diversity and opportunity. Beyond the classroom, there are many different enlightening pathways and experiences a student can explore and undertake. The plethora of international students and the variety of social differences, coupled with the hundreds of organizations and groups to get involved with molds into a unique college experience. There are ways for every type of personality to connect with others and experience new adventures that they may have never done before college. It makes college not only a typical classroom learning experience, but also a foundation for real world and personal development.
U of I is very big, so there are many social cliques.
I love the University of Illinois Champaign campus. There isnt any thing I dislike about it.
Basketball
I wish I would of known more about the different opportunities on campus that are offered to Black students. I also wish I would of had more guidance on filling out applications because books alone cost a lot of money. I also wish that I knew more about the campus period because there are many opportunities out there that I did not know about because I did not know much about the campus. Before I came to this school I also wish I would of knew how much tuition was and waht it went towards.
Haha, the only thing I can think of that characterizes our school is our anger for not having Chief - and that is very, very true.
My school is best known for sports such as Basketball and Football as well as a great education system.
The biggest stereotype about the University is that many departments accept more freshmen than there are resources for seniors and most 100-level courses are weed-out courses to encourage only the best freshmen to continue on in this major. It's also commonly known as a huge, impersonal university that really leaves the new students to fend for themselves after the orientations and welcome-to-campus clinics are over. Students really don't want to get sick here - the health clinic called McKinley is commonly referred to as McKillMe because they almost always make incorrect diagnoses. The students are known to be party-animals. Indeed, even the strictest students who vowed in high school to never, ever drink in college end up partying a lot here. The administration claims that only a small number of underage students actually drink, but I do not know many underage students who have never been to a bar. Personally, I do not drink much because I really try to get as good of grades as possible, and I can honestly say there is not much to do here unless you are into partying. It's not just an excuse - there's really nothing to do on campus on the weekends except binge drink. Most students go out several weekends a month. Many students here are from the rich suburbs of Chicago and as freshmen, they think they are something really special because many went to some of the best high schools in the country. But then, once they've been through all the weed-out courses (usually by the end of their sophomore year), they tend to realize they're no better than anyone else here. The engineers here have it SO easy - they have their own little campus, they live in their own little world, and they are treated like gold. For example, engineers complained that the intro level chemistry courses should not have organic chemistry sections because engineers are never required to take an organic chemistry course - and so now the curriculum for these courses is changing to get rid of the organic sections. If any other student complained about this, a curriculum change would NEVER happen.
A person who is academically focused, and has a good study ethic but also wants to have fun. It is very important to study hard, but there are also many opportunites to have fun a take a break from studying.
Someone who really isn't a "people-person" shouldn't attend the U of I. Everyone here is very open and friendly.
It is top rated in almost every major, and we are #1 for being a top party school that also does well in school and gets jobs after graduation.
yes
The use of multiple different online homework tools that are used for varying classes. I wish everything was online in one place.
The campus. It is absolutely beautiful. The people are friendly, we have a building modeled off of a German castle so it feels like Hogwarts, we're pretty close to the best in everything we do and there are SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES!!! One of the best parts of going to such a large University is the number of opportunities available to you. If you can't find something that fits your needs or desires (which is hard to do) they will find a way to let you create something for you. It allows you to really make your education mold to your own needs.
U of I has one of the largest (I believe it is THE largest) Greek presence in the country. There are plenty of people on campus who rush and join sororities and fraternities. For the people who find an interest in this, there are plenty of options. However, if this isn't your scene, it isn't looked down upon in any means. There are plenty of things to do that aren't "Greek". Greek life is fairly normal, I think - they have parties, they have the big houses on campus, they all wear their letters everyday. If it's your thing, you can find a house that fits your personality.
