The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a prestigious school. It is renowned for academic excellence, especially in my field, that is computer science and data analytics. The MSIM program that I had taken was a perfect blend of technology and management, which aligned with my career aspirations.
Course Curriculum :
The number of credits in this program is 40 credits that you need to complete in the span of 1.5-2 years. I did it in 2 years. The curriculum was diverse enough for students to take what they liked, ranging from courses in tech, management and even consulting.
Placement :
The placements are good. You have opportunities offered by Research Park which is a part of the campus and you can do internships and get a full-time job there. Great networking events and career services overall.
Fees :
The program is pretty affordable as compared to private universities as this is a public university. There are plenty of on-campus jobs that one can take up in order to manage everyday finances along with rent and utilities.

Campus Life :
I was not a part of any of the clubs but I do know that there are many for the people who are interested in it. There are a lot of celebrations for different festivals though.
Hostel :
I did not opt for an on campus accommodation instead I opted for an accommodation under the 'Smile' leasing agent. They have plenty of apartments. I opted for a 4b2b and had a rent of around $600/month including utilities, groceries can come up to around $200-300-400 depending on your lifestyle.
