Review of University of Illinois Chicago

from Orland Park, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The learning atmosphere is great! The professors, TA's, and tutors all want to help you, and they let you know it! Most respond to emails promptly, and the professors are always accommodating when it comes to office hours.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is plenty to do, and tons of opportunities to join clubs and fraternities. The student body is very diverse, and no one is looked down upon for being 'different'. Great experience overall. You can have fun and learn tons at the same time! And, you will make lasting friends who are very supportive of you.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

You definitely get your money's worth out of this school. As mentioned before, all professors are there to help you. They won't shirk their duties by letting class out early because they didn't plan enough material, but go into deeper detail so you better understand the material.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Enjoy yourself! Plus, make friends with students who know how to study! Study for your classes all the time so you don't end up cramming at the last minute...it never works! Also, give yourself set times to quit the books and relax!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Any one who wants to learn, and is willing to put forth the effort to succeed!
