Campus Life:

University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign is know as a party school and there are lots of party clubs as well as student clubs. You have plenty of opportunities to have a good grad school life. I found a lot of indians in the university. THe infrastructure is quite modern and has new and updated technologies.

Hostel:

I opted for off campus housing and I chose to live with three more people. The only criteria for housing I had was to have good roommates who match my dietary preferences and bond well. We used to cook food together and we used to live in a 4B2B House.

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.

Campus Life:

Campus life is happening. Library and research facilities are top class.

Hostel:

I shared an apartment mostly with two other people. Didn't have to share the room. Average cost of living was very low. I paid less than 400-500 for rent and utilities.

Campus Life:

The campus life is very robust and happening at first but it slows down since there isn’t much to do in Champaign since it’s a college town. But there are very well maintained facilities for learning, training and studying with state of the art libraries, academic instructional facilities, gyms and research labs. The Wi-Fi on campus is also very fast, never a problem.

Hostel:

Living in an apartment 10 minutes walk from most places on campus: 4 bed 4 bath fully furnished and amenities included: $900/month. Rent increases every year. Well maintained and maintenance requests fulfilled quickly.

Campus Life:

The campus life was very difficult to adjust to but I do love being able to roam around and explore the campus. I haven’t joined any clubs mostly because I have a busy schedule and looking for a job. The libraries here are amazing and the gyms are too.

It is going great, I’m still adjusting to the classes but honestly I feel behind in all of them. I need to gain a better understanding on all my courses, but other than that this university is so good. You have so many opportunities at your fingertips and you won’t get a better education than here.

Hostel:

students usually rent 2 or 3 bedroom apartments near campus. There are variety of options available and the prices vary according to the amenities and the location you opt for. You can find some very cheap apartments for 350$ per month, and can also go for luxurious complexes that costs 1000$ a month. Average student would spend somewhere around 400$ per month for apartment.

UIUC needs no introduction when it comes to the excellent research. ECE department of UIUC has top-class research faculties and facilities - it is one of the top 5 graduate program in the world.

Hostel:

The dorms are somewhat expensive because you have to pay for housing and a meal plan as well. The housing is expensive for what you get, which is old dorms and old furniture unless you're lucky enough to get into one of the few new dorms, which are like staying at a hotel in comparison.

I chose University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign because it has a very good computer science program and a lot of resources. The professors are very impressive and a lot of research is done at the school.

Hostel:

I was not abroad.

It was a great engineering school and a change in environment
