    Parking is a hassle. If you're in any other program besides that and business, the school will put no effort in. Campus grounds are in pretty poor condition compared to most other schools. However the bar/Greek scene is huge. No matter what day of the week kids are going out, I'd say more than any other school, for sure. ...Continue reading

If you're looking to join greek life we have one of the largest greek communities in the US, but if you're into a different scene we have plenty of RSO's and clubs.

    UIUC is my favorite place in the entire world. We are all smart as hell. I mean UIUC is called the 'Public Ivy' so of course we are. We live in a pretty little college town with enough opportunities to get involved (school or work force) The only downside is the food and internet suck. Other than that this place is awesome. Distinguished academics and every night is treated like a Friday on campus! ...Continue reading

    Parking is a hassle. If you're in any other program besides that and business, the school will put no effort in. Campus grounds are in pretty poor condition compared to most other schools. However the bar/Greek scene is huge. No matter what day of the week kids are going out, I'd say more than any other school, for sure. ...Continue reading

    Prof. Haberman definitely a nice guy, but his class is so frustrating. Only one lecture a week, which is an hour and a half but could be summed up in about 5 minutes. No textbook, hardly any resources except to hunt down your TA all the way across campus during their 1 hour a week office hour. Hardly any ways to seek effective help for class. ...Continue reading

    Karle is a great women. It's easy to tune out in class because Karle repeats concepts and goes slowly through content, but if you pay attention it makes it easy to memorize concepts for testing. Just review your notebook once and do one or two pass exam before each test and you will get a really high score because the test are basically identical to the pass exam. Super easy, and give a lot of extra credit. ...Continue reading
