University of Illinois at Chicago Top Questions

I wish I had known about the Honors College ahead of time, but I was enrolled my second year which made up for it.

Some of the classrooms are old and not well kept. But they are currenly being renovated.

There is not the same homey feel of small typical colleges. Also many people commute or go home on weekends.

I wish I had known just how cold Chicago winters are! Perhaps I would have gone to school somewhere warmer!

I wish i knew the amount of work i needed to put into my classes and amount of studying.

I am not sure

Coming to college for the first time was difficult but exciting. I remember counting down the days until I was able to move into the dorms. I was also nervous and did not know what to expect from my professors. I wish I had a better understanding of what my initial major involved. I was overwhelmed and ended up switching majors. While the university trys to make it as smooth of a transition as possible, there is no way of explaining it without experiencing it yourself.

What major I wanted. I chose the wrong major and now have to figure out how to cram all my classes into two semesters.

I wish I had known about the special programs that they offered in my major field. I did not really know what kind of academic programs they offered to help me find an internship until I started attending the university. They have a career center where they help students find jobs but there is a long waiting list for it; I wished they had more career counselors. I also wished I knew how expensie their housing on-campus cost, along with their meal plan.
