University of Illinois at Chicago Top Questions

I wish that I had been informed of the bad housing facilities and uncaring teaching assistants hired by the school. This may have changed my choice for which college to attend.

I wish I had known that it was a huge commuter campus, therefore most of the people I get to know in class aren't around on weekends and outside of class to have fun with.

The amount of studying and effort involved in a university setting. I feel that my High School, which was a college prep , did not prepare me enough for the courses at UIC.

I wish I had known more about the professors and classes at this school before registering for classes. I also wish someone would have told me not to depend on academic advisors because they don't really help much.

The class sizes aren't that big. I was surprised to learn this and the teachers are very friendly and helpful.

First off, I wish I had been a little more prepared for this experience. I thought I was prepared but found out that the professors are occasionally rigid and uncompromising. Second the fact that the financial aid office was telling me that I would receive x amount of money for my classes and when later I found out when i changed classes or was able to accelerate my workloan that the financial aid was non-existent and could'nt be applied backwards on previous semesters, thus leaving me a debt.

I wish that before coming to my school I had known more about scholarships available to students. That would help me avoid taking loans my first year of college.

How unconcerned the professors are about you learning anything.

I do wish that I have know anything , because I knew everything when I came into college and I still know that I will create wealth while I am here in college. To be honest the only thing that I wish I had know, was that college is only fit for those who are financailly stable to attend even with financial aid assitance. College is expensive, and it takes a lot of finance in order to achieve higher goals such as medicine and law. This is what I should have known before I knew that funds were being cut.

I wish I had the experience of what to except while in college. I didn't know what classes would be like or what kind of work load they would have. High school is so different from college. I wish I could have been more prepared for college. Especially when it came to studying and working on projects and papers. The expriences you have in high school are nothing compared to college.
