UIUC Reviews

Such a big school.... I still haven't seen it from end to end.

This is my second year here. So far I have had an okay experience with the school. I find it urking that many courses require "special" webaccess codes that are not needed since there are free alternatives that many schools use. In addition, you are charged 5 grand more just to be in your college. And don't get me started on transfering into a college. It's horrible. You need an impossible GPA to transfer! I'm in the college of engineering and my GPA is no where near what they ask. The school can be extra af imo, js.

We go here for FACT every first weekend in November

The engineering bulls can't do anything but learn.
The North School is a science and engineering man, and the South School is a business woman.
ECE CS ME CE
There are also homework that can't be written.

Note: This is not a review of the school academic standing but more on the campus physical environment.

My wife attended this school when she was 16 years old and so I decided to stop by for a quick visit as I was driving on I-70 to California. The campus looks like a ghetto, dirty and old buildings. The streets looked like they haven't been clean in ages. This campus is just plain old and dirty.

It was probably much cleaner 20 years ago!

Fun place and pretty good school but the football and basketball teams are trash and the track doesn't even have any bleachers.

Beautiful campus with a stately quad, nice academic and living facilities, and great sports facilities.

In this university there is Professor Munir Nayef. My greetings to you.

An inspiring journey, moments that will last forever

This school disappointed me so much. I went for my MSW and my husband went for his MEng. My husband was never able to complete his degree because in order to successfully complete the program, one must complete a thesis supervised by a faculty member. No one was willing to supervise a Master's thesis as most professors are only interested in Doctoral students. When my husband did find a professor who was willing, the individual was never available for office hours (though he had hours listed, he was never in his office during those time) and would make appointments and then no show. As for myself, I was disappointed in the difficulty of the curriculum. I found it neither challenging nor helpful in the field. Additionally, I have been waiting 4+ months for U of I to submit my transcripts to the state so that I can get my provisional license. This is only personal experience for us and does not speak about the institutional racism or the poor quality of many of the organizations on campus. I would not recommend this university.

Beautiful campus. Many things to do and places to see

This university is a pretty cultural-friendly and safe campus. The staff I have encountered here is pretty nice. UIUS has been known for its major in computer science, information and engineer major. The students from UIUC who I have interacted with are pretty professional and nice. Recommended this school if you want to study a major in science.

I would give this university a five star rating but as a very hard-working student who gpa didn t fall below a 3.5 should give some sort of awards to students who achieved or exceeded this gpa all four semesters in attending this university. I don t like to complain, but as an AA student, last semester I achieved a 3.94 gpa, was on the Dean s List but wasn t acknowledged for it. Yes, it is on my transcript but my name was NEVER posted on the list for fall 18..... I contacted the college of LAS and I received an email which seemed to give me excuses and the runaround on why I wasn t on THEIR list. Not saying that the university doesn t have diversity, but they need to do better representing AA who work very hard.

Pretty bad campus. Had to pay metered parking for a visit and they gave us the wrong time estimate, so we almost got a ticket. Tour guide also was pretty bad.

Received my PhD at U of I and couldn't be prouder. Although not an engineering or computer science major, U of I is world renowned for its engineering and computer science, among other things. In case you didn't know, Bill Gates once said Microsoft hires more U of I grads than grads from any other schools in the world. Go ILLINI!

Marvelous university. The academics speak for themselves. Phenomenal research, undergraduate courses, and academic atmosphere.

Beautiful school with a great Engineering faculty. I loved the staff and students and really enjoyed my exchange semester here

I loved my time here as a student. The town is good and the student life is nice as well for the size of the city.

GOD IS EXCELLENT , KEEP Up The Good Work Of HISTORY LEADERSHIP AND LEGACY,, Happy New Year SMILE Citizens,,,,,REVJOYCEANN CRUMP PEACEMAKER LIVING LEADERSHIP AND LEGACY

I did my undergraduate studies at this university. It is an excellent academic institution. The facilities are top notch and the instructors among the best. The colleges of engineering, psychology, and library sciences are among the best in the nation. The colleges of law, business, education, veterinary sciences, pharmacy, and chemistry are also very good. The university boasts a two time Nobel Prize winner in former researcher John Bardeen. For the sports minded there are many facilities available and an abundance of intramural programs. You can enjoy big ten basketball and football games. The university has one of the largest, some say the largest, fraternity and sorority populations in the country. You can have fun here and still obtain a quality education that will be respected everywhere.

Enjoyed every year of college here. Excellent academics taught by some of the brightest professors, smart fellow classmates to keep me on my game, and much diversity and activities.

The university is decent, but the town is worse. Mean and horrible townsfolk. Be better, Champaign!

Attending University of Illinois was by far the best decision of my life. Most awesome place to study, to party, to make friends, to get exposed to industry and if you are in, there's enough entrepreneurship opportunities too. I would say I owe at least 90% of my success and 95% of my friends to UIUC :)

I earned my bachelor's degree here this past May, and I am very proud to call myself an Illini. The University is nothing less than amazing with all of the great opportunities and amazing people you will find here. I wish I could relive the time I spent here-- it was the best experience of my life.

I had worked at the U of I for 30 years was a great experience !

I when today there to bring my daughter to campus, awesome college let's go Illinois.

Top public school for engineering! Based on 2016 U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) "America's Best Colleges" report, UIUC's undergraduate program was ranked tied for 41st among national universities and tied for 11th among public universities.

As a Native American alum, I am disgusted with the way this school treats its student body and Native History. At every turn the University seems to ban tradition and settle for group-thought and mediocrity without debate. There is no intelligent discussion here, only emotionally-driven propaganda where opinions are taught as fact by biased faculty. There is no room at Illinois for an individual, no place for someone who wants to learn about new ideas and concepts that may challenge their beliefs. This is not a place for intelligent people, but the sad thing is, it used to be. A degree from the University of Illinois has become a guarantee to betrayal and disappointment as an alum. I grew up adoring this place, and now it disgusts me

Engineering College is great! The library is fabulous and the campus is beautiful!

The best education that state money (and the GI Bill) can buy!

Fantastic school. The concept of being an ignored undergrad student is overblown; teachers are friendly and willing to help you out. The campus is beautiful and particularly nice during the non-winter portion of the term. A pretty lively college town feel, and the school spirit is appropriately strong. Challenging and humbling, yet enlightening, I can attest that the school of biology does a great job of helping you along. Dorms are satisfactory, and food is not a problem. Green street offers plenty of options if bars or eating out is your thing. For a more traditional college town, it succeeds well.

How does one not rate their Alma Mater a 5? A terrific school, great atmosphere, this place was home for many years...

I earned my PhD degree in EdPsych October 1993. It is a great school with excellent facilities as well as very supportive professors. It is an excellent university where I learnt a lot to support my career

This is an awesome place for a student s college experience! I would recommend everyone to atleast try to apply at this school! If you get lucky, you will have the best experience of your college life! Campus is enormous and beautiful! Commute system is perfectly organized around the whole campus! Housing options are pretty great too!
Trust me, if u wanna be something in life, this place is a fabulous opportunity!

Smart students, world renown faculty, and great campus. Worth every second and every penny.

From a University perspective, I enjoyed my time here as a Freshman. Teachers and classes were satisfactory, and the campus had some great restaurants. That Cracked food truck I'm pretty sure fell from heaven.

From a social perspective, this place is pure hell unless you are sold on joining Greek Life. Don't want to join a frat/sorority? Good luck finding some friends. Don't party or go to the bars for fun? Good luck finding anything to do.

I transferred after my freshman year for the above reasons.

There is not a better place in the world 2 watch college football or basketball than the house of Paign, Memorial stadium home of the fighting Illini in Urbana Champaign....go illini......I-L-L

It seems like a beautiful campus. I'm hoping that my daughter attends here in a few years.

Awesome school as a start of your adult life. Extremely inclusive environment for all students.

A party school trying to pass as reputable. FacilIties were great but curriculum barely kept me awake for most classes. I should've gone to Arizona State University instead for better weather.

My understanding is the University doesn't acknowledge freedom of speech. I understand that they engage in identity politics, and victimization, and bullying, which is ok, if it follows their agenda.... I guess they must be leaning way left politically, because knowledge doesn't seem to be their focus...

Pleasant environment!
There is no nightlife around
It seems to be a college equipped.

Very nice place. I rode in and around the campus with my advisor. The place is peaceful and clatter free. With a clean city and beautiful people

I love everything there is offered here!
The art museums and classrooms are so neat and exciting, even the cafeteria was beautiful in terms of architecture!!! O:

Although I haven't been there. They( one of the vet's, and students) come to our zoo(Miller Park Zoo).

This University is not what I was expecting

All of the people act like they are having a great time and I'm not? Where is my job? Where are my good grades? Why am I not getting anywhere professionally? I am currently a junior and I still feel like a freshmen!

I have looked very hard for one and yet I didn't get one. Probably because all of the white and asian people are taking them. I have such a great work ethic and al these people get a job because they have the money to do it and I don't. The city is horrible if you ask me. People partying like life is good, people that will not stop complaining everywhere, nobody talking to me. The city can't even pay me for an accident that they have pretty much cause themselves do to their unfriendliness to bicycle. One old woman told me I should be on the street. How was I suppose to know to stay on the street? Did she even know? That is not even the worst part. I broke my bicycle, my right arm, and even worse my beautiful teeth and now their horribly cracked with the dentist barely even fixing them. They are still awful regardless of what everyone around me thinks. The final nail in the coffin is the sorry excuse for professors. Some of them were't even professors and sometimes the textbooks teach better than them. I can learn all of this from the internet alone. My goodness my parents were wrong when they thought sending me here was going to change my life. Stay at home where it's safe and go to an online university because this one lies about their students being successful.

Great school that prepared me for the future. Lots of fun too.

the best school ever that i went to for a feld trip

This is a great campus. I have been here several times. It never gets old. It is just a great campus that always exceeds my expectations for a university feeling as you walk the halls.

university of illinois at urbana champaign is an amazing place to take a tour. It has the third largest liabrary and 6th biggest recreation center. It has the great buildings and the school is famous for a lot of engineering majors especially for computer science. It would be a great place to start a tour at urbana-champaign

Amazing campus, good people, can't think of a better place to spend my 4 years

Cravings is the best thing about this school. Change my mind

Amazing studious atmosphere. One of the best place to study..

The university of Illinois is a beautiful and wonderful place. The main drawbacks are the aggressive panhandlers on green St and the state of Illinois budget impasse.
