University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the crime rates that are increasing annually. There have been many incidents of peeping toms and assaults on campus, many which have not been formally announced to the student body due to fear of panic. :(

I love the University of Illinois Champaign campus. There isnt any thing I dislike about it.

I think our campus always looks partied out. There are too much parties going on in the campus. Parties distract people from academic life. They would go out too much for parties so they sometimes don't pay enough attnetion to their classes and also drinking is another issue. Parties became the trap. I think if there are less parties and less promotion of them students would be more focus on academic.

The worst thing about my school is the large lecture classes. For beginning level classes, you can have hundreds of other students in your class. It takes more motivation to go to a class that you know no one will notice you are absent from. These classes often have smaller discussion sections once or twice a week and you can are generally done with large lectures once you have completed general requirements and are focusing on your specialty .

The worst thing about the school would have to be the Greek influence that was very prominent. I believe that it remained difficult to maintain an independent student without feeling like you were missing out on something for not being in the Greek system. I did end up joining a sorority my Junior year and made one lifetime friend. After a year however, I did end up leaving and became an independent student.

Living on a college campus is something very new to me. The thing that I think is a really negative thing about my school is the fact that it is surrounded by college businesses and resteraunts, and there is no option really to go out into reality and experience the real world, outside from a very secluded, safe environment. Students here do not get to challenge their ideas and beliefs by meeting and exploring the world as they would in a much more open environment, such as a city.

I am not sure what the WORST thing about my school would be, but the most intimidating thing is the size. However, my suggestion in overcoming that is to join a club or organization. By doing this, you feel like you have a purpose and it is also a great way to meet people, make friends, and to network (not to mention they look great on a resume).

The worst thing about my school, I believe is it's large lectures, sometimes you dont get to interact with your professor and classmates enough. Also, the bulidings are pretty spread out and it is a long walk to get from class to class that can get very irritating during the winter.

The campus is very large so it takes approximately 10-15 minutes to travel from your dorm to the quad if you choose not to take the campus uses.

I would have to say that the worst thing about my school is that students tend to get lost in there lectures. Not literally getting lost but because that lectures consists of 400 to 500 students. Students have to integrate from a small high school classroom into a large lecture hall. Some students feel as if they are alone and they begin to feel as if there professor does not care and this could lead to failure or difficulty of the class. However, there are many students that have excelled even due to the high student to teacher ratio.
