University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Top Questions

Groceries stores and other important things are far from campus and apartments are expensive.

The work load can be overwhelming, different racial groups stick together and do not interact with others that much

The worst thing is that there are so many campus bars. With less bars so close to the classroom, there would be much less binge drinking and less of a focus on partying.

One word, ignorace

I really can't find anything bad about my school... I personally love it here and I am glad that I chose to go here. So if I had to say the worst thing about my school, I would have to say the dorms because they didn't have any air conditioning. However, the university is remodeling all the dorms so it should get better soon

There isn't enough culture or diversity here. Most people look, act, and think the same.

The courses are difficult and the workload is demanding.

I think the dorm food is one of the worst things on this campus. It is not very healthy for students to be eating and it just does not taste good. There are definitely ways to improve this problem. Many students do not have enough money to buy food from different places all the time, so they are forced to eat cafeteria food and usually it is not good. College is where students begin to learn independence from their parents and making smart choices about food to eat is important because it effects the rest of there life.

The fact that a lot of the information you have to find yourself. This is great in a way because it forces people to grow up and do things themselves, but some help would be nice. There is little personal time taken to tell you what you can do with your major afterwards and what is going to be expected of you from a job in terms of experience/ former internships, etc. The Alumni network seems to only ever ask me for money and has never offered career services.
