University of Illinois at Chicago Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Thomas

I wish I had pushed myself more in mathematics because now I am stuck retaking placement tests trying to place directly into the higher math class that I need, instead I may have to take multiple classes prior to getting into my required class which may hinder my intended graduation date. I was not accustomed to urban life prior to moving here but it was easy to get acclimated to this way of life. However, I wish I had a greater understanding of the transit systems of Chicago prior to coming to this University.
