University of Illinois at Chicago Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Illinois at Chicago? Why?

Christine

Uneducated counselors and financial aid administers.

Rocky

That it is such a big campus. In the winter months it is grueling to have to walk from building to building in such cold weather. Especially for commuting students, such as myself, it can get very cold out here in Chicago.

Dennise

The worst thing about this school was the job placement after we graduated. I wish there would have been more choices and more of a clear cut on what the pay would be once I began working.

Christopher

Nothing, it is a great school with lots of opportunities.

Esther

The worst thing about my school is that some of the teachers aren't very fluent in English so it's hard to understand what they are lecturing about.

Lusine

The worst thing about my school is that it is not taken care of. I remember sitting in my math class in the middle of winter with a broken heater that cracked loudly and wasn't fixed for weeks. The study rooms have dirty, moldy, couches and the bathrooms are hideous. The music department has broken pianos.They have rotting pipes, broken sinks, and absolutely no handles on many of the doors. It's incredibly unpleasant to attend this school due to these horrendous conditions.

Brittany

The worst thing about UIC would probably be the architecture during the winter. Campus can look pretty bleak, but there are many opportunities to get off campus and head downtown. Whether you like shopping, museums, studying, or even volunteering, there are many options for you at UIC.

Kelly

Parking can get expensive, and because its a commuter school, there tends to be less of a community feeling.

maria

Some of the buildings and the crime around campus.

Kristen

The worst thing about the school is the weather. In Chicago there's no telling what the weather will be no matter what the season is. That being said a lot of times you dont want to go to class becuase of how good or bad the weather feels.
