    The school is what you make of it. It's the people and the experiences that we pull from this place that really touch us. As a commuter student (as well as a working student), I don't really get to spend that much time doing extracurricular activities. Sadly, in that way, I don't think I'm getting as much as I possibly can from our school. ...Continue reading

Commuter school, basically no school spirit anywhere to be found on campus. No football games, but it does have downtown Chicago. Don't live on campus especially in CTY, CMW, CMS, CMN not clean. JST, MRH, TBH are decent. Food not so yummy. Nice gym though! It has a great view and good classes. UIC's campus is beautiful. ...Continue reading

    I'm transferring out of this school. Cafeterias are gross, the food court is pretty alright. Lots of commuters, so join a club to meet people. Campus is awesome when its warm. Terrible when it's cold. Library of health sciences on the west side is better than the daley library. The kids here are not very pleasant to talk to very selfish and way to obsessed with their grades. Most of the teacher are not very good, a lot of them are foreign, so they have terrible language skills. ...Continue reading

    Even though it is a big school it is nothing like the hollywood college experience so be aware. To many city people. Stay away from this hell hole. No opportunities and too many foreigners. Food's not that bad, and the dorms are okay if you're in JST (the best one imo) or one of the apartment-style buildings. However, you will not find as much school spirit as you expect. Literally the only good thing here in terms of spirit is the basketball team no football teams or homecomings whatsoever. ...Continue reading

The campus isn't beautiful, but the people at UIC and the rest of the city are what matter. A ton of job opportunities since you are blocks away from downtown(more than Urbana) Being a student athlete is so much fun and keeps you so busy. You meet and bond well with other athletes and are given so many resources to help you if necessary. This school is also a highly known research school and has a lot to offer in the classroom.

    This isn't my favorite University ... but I can't argue with the low tuition. I was in CUPPA and it was a disaster. Definitely a commuter school so most people run back to the burbs after classes. Got the job done pretty much for free (scholarships) and now I'm going elsewhere for grad school. Campus is pretty gross and from the stone age. Literally. Everything is concrete. Location is convenient. Diversity is amazing and so is the atmosphere. Dorms are a complete joke and waste of money.

    Really like how big and diverse UIC is. The kids here attend lectures, and barely pay attention to their teachers. They are always on their phones. The school is way too big to have a teacher even care about your education and yourself as a student. The campus is way to big, and it's not even that pretty. Its not spectacular but its not terrible. Unless you live in the dorms, its almost impossible to get a good group of friends since 85% of the people who attend are commuters (aka they don't live on campus).

I did not join any clubs or extracurricular activities, but I did volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club in Bridgeport. I took advantage of the resources on campus, such as the Writing Center, and was able to improve my GPA the second semester. Subway, Sbarro, and Wendy's are also tasty.

    UIC is in fact a party school. It is right next to the City of Chicago and there are many organizations here. In other words, there is absolutely no excuse to complain that there isn't anything to do here. My only advice to you is, and I can't emphasize this enough, DO NOT TAKE MATH COURSES HERE UNLESS MATH IS YOUR LIFE. they may be great in their field, but have little to no clue how to teach. Sometimes there is a great prof that you'll find but it's rare. Chicago weather is real, the library needs more quietstudy spaces, and the quad needs to not being just concrete. ...Continue reading

    UIC is in fact a party school. It is right next to the City of Chicago and there are many organizations here. In other words, there is absolutely no excuse to complain that there isn't anything to do here. My only advice to you is, and I can't emphasize this enough, DO NOT TAKE MATH COURSES HERE UNLESS MATH IS YOUR LIFE. they may be great in their field, but have little to no clue how to teach. Sometimes there is a great prof that you'll find but it's rare. Chicago weather is real, the library needs more quietstudy spaces, and the quad needs to not being just concrete. ...Continue reading

    There is no curve. I didn't think an A would be possible in Orgo, but Stieff made it possible. Person below me is an idiot and probably didn't study. All I did was watch the lecture capture, took notes, understood the past exams and now I have 98 going into the final. Crystal clear. Wish he taught Orgo 2. ...Continue reading

    4 tests, 1 semester. The tests were extremely hard and she expected students to learn 4 chapters and not having a study guide provided was very difficult. She often gets out of topic during her lectures so make sure to listen what you need to listen. The paper is a major part of your grade, so do well in it! ...Continue reading

    Professor Lind was a tough Professor. Most of the material you are tested on Lind never even mentions in class. She's a nice lady but I'm not paying so much money to learn most of the subject by reading a book. Make sure you go to class for attendance points, work hard on your paper/ presentations and read the book! ...Continue reading

    Biochem was split up between Dr. Jeffery and Dr. Polinkanoff. 4 exams make your grade. No curve. You are pretty much on your own. Going to lecture is useless. Biochem is very important and UIC failed to hire a decent professor for a class reqd for many grad schools like med, pharm, etc. Nice lady, not so great teacher. Jeffery is not very useful at explaining the materials. She literally reads everything off her lecture slides so there was no point going to her lecture. I studied from the lecture notes and the textbook. Grading is tough 1 multiple choice question is worth up to 5-6 points. ...Continue reading

    It is not the one of these exciting and easy classes. Compared to the other PSCH 242 teachers, his class was a bit harder. I would have taken Staahl if I knew earlier. One of the exams get dropped. There are also iClickers and discussion points to boost your grade. There are about 5 HW projects, which in my opinion were unnecessary and time consuming, but in all, okay class ...Continue reading

    Prof. Lind seemed like a chill person but I wouldn't take her for a class again, I really really did not like how she set up the quizzes and exams. Of the 50+ students enrolled in the course only one got an A and this was by a mere half-point (306 points were needed for an A and this person had 306.5) Seems a bit suspicious to me. I worked very hard and only got a B. ...Continue reading

    He's an okay professor. Study guides are of no use (LONG). You have to review each slide for exams. He tries really hard to make the lectures interesting but fails to do so. If you can - always take the other instructor offering the same course. Tests are confusing. His TA was the only and the best help for the course. ...Continue reading

    terrible at teaching and his TAs aren't any better. His lectures are HORRIBLE! HE takes pictures from the book and doesn't explain them well at all. When I went to his office hours, he would say things like how do you not understand? it's straightforward and easy! He made my friend cry once. Avoid at all costs, PLEASE! ...Continue reading

    Nice guy. Fairly new, so he's not the best professor out there. The curve/grading is the same for all orgo 1 classes. I was shocked that there wasn't a curve for this semester at all, considering the exam/final averages were pretty low all semester. Take home message: Don't count on a curve. You have to work really really hard. ...Continue reading

    Asks so many clickers. Don't take anyone else. If you get Ds on your exams like I did, they will turn into like 105% after the curve. Practice exams are the best thing to study. Go to his office hours/reviews and he will tell you everything you need to know. No surprises. top of the exam curves, he will curve at the end. Best Orgo professor. If he say he won't curve the class, he really won't. ...Continue reading

    For someone who speaks English, Jeffrey is a poor professor. Dr. Jeffery seems like a very nice lady but she just read off of her lecture slides and spent excessive amounts of time on slides without adding any extra information, somehow. Dr. P was quite the opposite, he was engaging and used good examples and convinced Dr. J to curve the class. ...Continue reading

    Professor and class was very unclear. His lectures are horrible. He just likes to hear himself talk. He never explains anything. He asks his students really difficult questions and when he sees that no one knows the answer, instead of revealing it, he blackmails his students by saying that the question will appear on the exam. I regret taking his class ...Continue reading

    Class is disorganized! Easy material presented in a confusing way. If T.A.'s weren't there, would have been completely lost, use them. Lectures are all over the place and very disorganized. Class was much harder than it should have been because of the way material was presented. Check your grades, mine were entered wrong several times. ...Continue reading
