UIC- feel like home experience

Likes:
The subjects offered such as cybersecurity, global logistics, revenue management in my course were very versatile. My class strength was diverse in terms of age group, experience and home country. UIC offered jobs with one of the best stipend for GA and TA ($23.6) which is one of the best in public universities.,
I had an experience in supply chain and this course's curriculum was a perfect blend of supply chain and operations management. I chose this course and UIC because its a public university and has less fees as compared to other universities I got admit to.

Dislikes:
My first semester(spring 2021) was 100% online due to covid. But, when there was a choice between the online and offline, most of the US students chose online classes. And due to the majority choice, professors taught a few classes online.

Hostel:

I was staying close to UIC in a 3bhk, 2nd floor. Total rent was $1500. I paid $500 /month for a separate room, no attached washroom. it includes only water. AC/heater bill are separate(Max of $100/ person during winters)

The experience at UIC was great. The course structure and prof and especially part time job opportunities are good. Chicago is a place where commute is easier in the city and UIC is also close to downtown. Facilities like night ride(free rides for UIC students post 11pm, 24*7 library during exam times, Early morning gym timings) are very useful for international students.

University of Illinois Chicago College of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmacy Systems, Outcomes and Policy

Hostel:

I live in a nice apartment near campus which costs $850 per month. This is on the higher side. Average rent would be about $650 per month, with electricity, gas and internet costing about 100$ per month. These costs can be reduced if more people share the apartr.

I chose this program because it is one of the most highly ranked programs in the field of health economics and outcomes research. The faculty members are widely recognized both nationally and internationally. Also, previous students from my undergrad college had attended this program and shared their positive experiences and highly recommended joining it.

MS Course Opportunities

Hostel:

Graduated students are requested to rent and stay in the apartments. House rent is 1800$ including utilities and is shared by the roommates.

My fascination with science propelled me to choose Biotechnology for my under graduation. I decided to further study this course in detail by majoring in the medicinal side of biotechnology. I then started hunting for MS in Medical Biotechnology which was offered only by a few universities in the United States and the University of Illinois at Chicago was one among them.

UIC a journey to remember

I chose university of Illinois at Chicago because it was fairly close to home (I commuted about 3 hours a day every day) and the education was fairly affordable compared to the other colleges close to home.
