University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Top Questions

I wish I would have known how important it is to be involved in the Greek community.

Nothing, I absolutely love it.

Most of what I wish I had known, has to do with the education that I was offered in highschool. It was very hard to adjust to the difficult work that was thrown at me. I wish I would have known how to study properly and manage my time without losing sleep.

I wish I had someone to to help me with housing, classes, and choosing a major. The options at our school are endless so it can be rather overwhelming for a freshman. The counselors here were helpful but they aren't always knowledgeable enough to help you with all the aspects of the college experience. I wish I knew ahead of time where to go for help in housing, meeting new people, and other aspects other than just education.

How much of a party school this was. I am not into drinking but the main thing to do here is to go to bars and drink with friends. It makes me feel out of place not going out late at night, but this was probably the only conflict I had with this school. Everything else is great!

I wish I would've lived in the regular dorms. I lived in a private one and it was less social than the others.

How much time would actually be spent studying and overal preparation of classes. I also wish I would have chosen my current major beforehand, because the classes that I took for my major in my first semester ruined my GPA. Outside of that, UIUC is a great place to explore opportunities for majors and minors. They offer multiple programs each semester devoted to this purpose.

Before coming to the University of Illinois I wish I knew about all of the career and academic help offered so that I could have better utilized those resources.
