University of Illinois at Chicago Top Questions

Hard to social with

The students at UIC can be describe in one word...unique. Every student is embraced no matter where they come from or what they believe in which makes our university one of the most diverse in the country. I have seen students who ride unicycles through campus as well as the ever so popular skateboarder. No two days are alike. During my highschool career I felt pressure to fit into the mold of my community but here I feel free. Your not judged if your rich, poor, black, white, or any other factor. Students are encouraged to do what they love. Some may choose science, others music, there is no campus norm. One thing that we do share in common is that we want to have a promising future. No matter what field a student may choose to go into, he or she has decided to come to UIC to build a solid background on that subject to prepare for a future career in that area. To some it could be what field produces the largest amount of income, for others it may simple be what they enjoy doing. One thing for sure is that, you choose what you feel, not your environment.

UIC ranks in the top most diverse campuses in the country. Our students come from all different types of backgrounds, ethnicities, races, religions, and communities. Many of our students speak multiple languages, are studying from abroad, or were born in another country. It is a unique opportunity getting to know so many different people. Because of our large diversity, we have a no discrimination policy and the campus is really a place where we can share our unique cultures with one another.

The students at this unniversity are like the ingredients of a garbage salad, everything in it but the sink. No one could ever feel like they are in the minority and everyone is friendly and willing to help one another.
