UIUC Review

A VERY impersonal school. You are a number to be processed and a check to be cashed. I would not recommend this school to anyone unless your sole purpose of attending is for partying and Greek life. In that case you are in the right place!

TERRIBLE university. Teachers don't teach, homework without solutions, indoctrination to the fullest degree.

Outstanding university. Never regret having gone there. Although the athletics and post collegiate network support should be much better given everything the university has going for it, the education, experience, atmosphere, and friendships were the best.

The gorgeous campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have building guarding some of the state's economic boom in the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. A campus tour is memorable.

The move in process is a bit crazy, the area does look a bit sketchy. But I suppose they can't really do anything about that. So just be smart and careful. The surrounding streets are poorly marked and sometimes you find yourself going the wrong way. The dorm rooms are surprisingly small. So pack essentials only.

My nephew studies in this great University and his great satisfaction drives me to like the University, to the ultimate.

I love this school. Beautiful combination of classical campus and city vibe.

In spite a challenge every now and then, I love Illinois and the 31 beautiful years (and counting) I've been able to live and serve at my alma-mater.

It's a huge school, and when I first came here, I was worried that the University and the experience in general would be very impersonal; That I would be "Just another number" to whoever was in charge. But I really, genuinely feel cared about as a student. The professors are obviously very passionate and care for their students' educations and their well-being. This place is home!

My friend Sue took me there the day before yesterday seeing a basketball game between UIUC and University of Michigan. At last, UIUC won. 73:70. The buildings there are amazing. It's a good place to learn and study.

The university is very cool. Ppl were very friendly. The university is very much respected among corporate sector

I work there,great place to work,
Thnx

One of the most prestigious academic institutions on the planet, also a ton of fun.

Simply one of the best university with beautiful campus

Very good university with an amazing study and research environment...
Located into the small cities of Urbana and Champaign is an important focus of knowledge of the Illinois State.

The campus is well laid out from North to South. There are 3 quads. Public transit is very well run. There is a large campus town area with shops, restaurants, and bars. Parking is sparse and it's hard to drive through. Professors are good the libraries are fantastic. Department management is hit or miss from department to department.

I lived here for four years and went to school here. This place has an amazing amount of opportunity and is a cheap place to live. Now that I've moved, I see college kids having to double up on rooms to pay rent that could afford you a one bedroom here.

The students in Illinois seriously underate this place because they are afraid of seeing their old highschool classmates. Trust me, you wont. The downside is that this is rather expensive for a public university. So if you go here, you should take advantage of every opportunity you can. Otherwise you'd be better off going to a smaller, cheaper school.

Really nice handling during these times. I was grateful to have the vet come outside and explain things to me.

I am blown away by the online doctoral program and very grateful to have chosen to attend their program. I have found the professors and TAs to be outstanding and supportive.

Don't bother applying here. The admissions people are clueless and the school itself looks ugly, particularly the business school. They will lead you on with advertising saying they want you as a student, but in reality they are just trying to pad their admissions statistics and don't care about you in the slightest. They are really strapped for money and it shows in just about every way. They prioritize unsuspecting foreign students who are going to lay down the full admissions price instead of in state candidates who pay the taxes for the school to operate. Shameless moneygrabbers.

Couldn't be a better place to study. The second largest campus library, phenomenal research and inspiring alumni. So lucky to have studied from here. Stay true to the Orange and Blue.

I am proud to continuously state I am a University of Illinois alumni. Received an excellent education, while experiencing the best student life experiences offered by a first class institution.

U of I has been a phenomenal university from an academic and social stand point. While I've only been here a little under two years, I've been able to see that my professors are engaging and passionate. Go Illini!

I have so much fun here it's amazing! The student body is so diverse it provides such a fun and colorful enviroment. The on campus food is amazing, Green Street hollllllaaaaaaa. Six pack dorms were kind of bad but hey at least the university realized this and finally they're re doing it. If the sports teams got better and worth cheering for it would be the perfect school. Also, the Delta Sigma Phi chapter is so awesome. They're pretty cool guys.

I cannot say there is a safe college town Education Department is terrible Not worth

After my visit here at The University of Illinois at Campaign-Urbana, I m very disappointed. This has to be the worst college campus and College town I ve ever visited in my whole entire life. Surrounding area of the campus are so sketchy and people are very shady as well. No one is helpful. Hate the rude attitudes for no appearent reason. Please go somewhere else Folks!!

Even though today was the worst day of my life the staff here was amazing. They were very helpful and patient with my wife and I during this horrible time

Awesome place to get an incredible engineering education.

My daughter studied here. A great university, a great campus. I know I went and saw it.

I am a graduate student here and it's awesome to be here!

Very great handlers of the animals and took time to explain my dogs cancer.They were good to us

Cold institution that doesn't care about the community it grew out of

Awesome school with prestigious reputation, faculty and alumni ofc.

The University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign is a public research university based in Illinois, the largest university in the University of Illinois system and the second oldest public university in the state (after the University of Illinois) and a member of the Association of American Universities. The university has the second largest university library in the United States and the fifth largest library in the country

Went here for the NE vs IL football game. Had a great time. Overall the IL fans weren't to bad.

GREAT Campus, GREAT people, couldn't have spent my six years (Undergrad and Grad School) anywhere else.

This university has a good campus, good social structure as well. Quad is pretty beautiful and amazing view. The buildings are pretty spread out but you can still find your way around campus. Also have a nice library and dorms.

Going with a group to check out the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61801 was a real treat for all of us. Great campus and a wonderful school if one's lucky enough to attend school here.

Was there in 1998 to study. A great place to be and study. I loved it.

TL;DR: The staff found at this institution (that I've interacted with) are knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile.

I'll start off by saying that I didn't attend this school. I did, however, run into a very nasty spider problem in my apartment a month ago. Distressed, I turned to the tool I knew best and Googled ways to identify spiders. Realizing that I was not an expert at spider identification, I wanted to find someone that was. I proceeded to Google "best entomology department" which led me to the entomology department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Excited with my finding, I emailed their department head and explained my situation. I wasn't expecting much, but it was worth a shot.

To my surprise, she responded not even an hour later putting me in touch with their resident arthropod expert! Fast-forward a couple weeks and I had some evidence for them to examine (I caught three spiders in an hour, no big deal). Their expert responded to my email first thing in the morning with some bad news (they were brown recluse spiders, lucky me). But the bad news is beside the point. These people took time out of their lives to lend their expertise to a layman in his time of need. Is that not the epitome of academia? Universities everywhere have something to learn from the staff found at this institution. Flashy websites and notable alumni are important, but providing help through human-to-human interaction is the foundation of a good educator. If I'm not eaten alive by a brown recluse beforehand, I will strongly consider this university for my children.

This school needs to respect the constitutional rights of their teachers. Give Steven Salaita his job back, you should not disrespect your teachers because of their political views.

New conference center is excellent and catering outstanding given the covid restrictions that are appropriate.

Home for many years, my best memories will stay here forever. Always a proud Illini

Beautiful campus with work class academic and athletic facilities.

UIUC has a nice campus. I particularly like the greenery and greenspace around the campus area.
