What students say about University of Illinois


Likes

  • The course curriculum, in some aspects, is very relevant and dynamically updated, but occasionally a little laggard for conceptual topics with little to no changes.
  • In the PhD program, it is extremely easy to get an internship or job, especially in top companies within the industry.
  • The campus life is very robust and happening at first, but it slows down because there isnt much to do in Champaign, as its a college town.
  • There are a variety of options available, and the prices vary according to the amenities and location you choose.
  • The faculty-to-student ratio isnt that great because the program is getting really big.
  • I chose the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign because it has a very good computer science program and plenty of resources.

  • Dislikes:
  • It is too cold and weather becomes extreme,
  • It becomes a ghost town during breaks like winter.,
  • Commute is from the airport. Chicago is 3 hours away

It is a tedious task. Had to compare a lot of colleges. Checked college ratings, their syllabus, cost, tuition fees etc. It required lots of hours to commit in order to shortlist and finalize a university.

  • Dislikes:
  • Class size: There were around 90 students due to which sometimes the seats got full to a particular class of a particular professor too quickly and I had to take that course next semester.

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.

No interview I had to submit an essay saying why I wanted to join It was a fun party school and it was also good for studying I really loved it. It was really fun I made a lot of friends and my major was not particularly hard so really happy about that.

  • Dislikes:
  • Weather can be a bit poor especially during the winter season. The campus is a bit out of nowhere, so not a great place for people looking for a busy city life.

I had to submit SOP and 3 LORs along with my CV. I highlighted my academic background and work experience in the SOP. University ranking, fully funded program and a good research group My overall experience at UIUC was excellent. I joined for a masters program and decided to continue with the PhD. I had an excellent advisor and research group. I learned a lot and made good connections. The overall campus life has something for everyone.

My college experience so far has been very rewarding because I have grown tremendously as a person and as a learner. Been able to learn to adapt to new circumstances and adjust to variations to normal life and adversity. Been able to control mood swings from excitement to disappointment. Also formed great relationships with amazing people around me.

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.
