University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Top Questions

We have a great time on the weekends and know how to crack down when it's needed.

I usually like to tell people about the beatiful campus and the amazing quality of the education that I am receiving. From my experience I can brag about the great teachers that I've had in the engineering field, and how they love their jobs and do their best to spread their love of their subject with the students. When I'm not talking about classes, I brag about how I can pretty much participate in any activity I want, because there is a club or group for everything. I feel incredibly priveledged to attend the University of Illinois.

How there is always something fun to do and so many opportunities. There are so many people here that it's impossible not to find a good group of friends.

It has a great church community.

Having so much more fun than everyone else.

Social aspect. Can get into bars at 19, good parties.

Parties and good-looking guys.

That you are able to get a great education and at the same time you meet some really cool people and develop some great friendships.

The science's here are amazing. Nowhere in the country will you get a better education in the scientific fields than at the University of Illinois. As an engineering student here I've learned more about science in less that two years than I thought I would in my whole time here.

The sense of being on campus. Also the beauty of the campus. Everyone loves being at U of I and you can tell.

i brag about the good time I had with my friends on the weekend.

When I tell my friends about University of Illinois I brag most about being independent and on my own. I have learned alot of responsibility having lived on my own and I am most proud of that. I also brag about the football team:)

Beautiful campus, good people, great professors and class offerings, incredible library system, good housing and facilities, cutting edge technology and research

The classes and professors are awesome. The choices of classes and programs are incedible. The professors are leaders in their field, and are often well-known writers and respected researchers. Our class discussions are in-depth, thought-provoking and full of great information. They inspire us to think deeper about a topic or to come back the next day to ask more questions.

We have a lot of camraderie and school spirit.

The fact that I met my best friends there, the opportunities I sought out with Illini Media (even though they pretty much used me for free labor and gave me little job advice), Murphy's Pub, and the really great music scene and local community. The fact that if you know how to seek out fun and things to learn, U of I is a really great school. It's a big enough place to really strech out and learn how to do things on your own, but not too big where you can get into much trouble.

The thing I brag most about when I tell my friends about my school would probably have to be how high the acedemic standards are here at the University of Illinois. Being at such a prestigious school makes me proud and I love nothing more than to acknowledge that.

I'm not really sure. It's in the middle of nowhere, but it's a good school.

If I were to brag about the University of Illinois, I would say that it is preparing me for the real world in a smaller setting, since your future really is in your own hands here. Help is available, but it must be sought out. I would also say that our sporting events are great to attend, full of energy and spirit of the students and alumni. Being apart of the athletic bands has allowed me to experience this excitement first-hand.

The variety of interesting/engaging courses and how much can be learned. Also, the vast opportunities for social enrichment.

I brag about how the education here is almost equal to that of an ivy league university. Also because I'm from such a small town I like to tell everyone that it's so easy to do and act how you want because there are other people just like you here on campus.

That it is never boring and I am having the time of my life.

This school has something for everyone. You can completely ignore any part of the university that doesn't fit you, such as sports, fraternaties/sororities, alcohol, etc.

There is a way to do everything at U of I. You can be whoever you want and you will fit right in somewhere.
