University of Illinois at Chicago Top Questions

The social sphere is as diverse, yet at times as segregated, as the city. Though this is a problem across college campuses in our nation (because not enough exposure happens in elementary and secondary education) though it is also a great place to meet people from other cultures or to be surrounded in the diversity you are used to. I grew up in a mixed community and felt at home in the melting pot that is Chicago and UIC's general population.

Diverse but not in the greatest of ways. There are indeed clicks consisting mostly of people who appear to hangout solely with those of similar backgrounds and never anyone else. Not true in all cases here, but these are more apparent. If living here, you can meet a variety of people from the shy, ghost-like fella, to the outgoing and kind one, to the rowdy guy you just try to hope doesn't make a mess near you.

The students are eager to learn, and they are dedicated to passing all of their classes.

The diversity of students enriches the campus at UIC. The different student organizations offer opportunities to learn about different careers and cultures.

Some students are very welcoming, other students don't bother in talking, and then there are other students that are just plain rude. Then there are also the students that are plain annoying as well.

My classmates, and in my summer class there are 100, are analytical, articulate, hard working, generous and happy.

My classmates project a possitive vibe that willingly help you if you need it, everyone helps one another, you are only as best as your weakest link.

Goal oriented and graduation driven

Classmates are enthusiastic learners like me.

Diverse, liberal, progressive

Hard to social with

The students at UIC can be describe in one word...unique. Every student is embraced no matter where they come from or what they believe in which makes our university one of the most diverse in the country. I have seen students who ride unicycles through campus as well as the ever so popular skateboarder. No two days are alike. During my highschool career I felt pressure to fit into the mold of my community but here I feel free. Your not judged if your rich, poor, black, white, or any other factor. Students are encouraged to do what they love. Some may choose science, others music, there is no campus norm. One thing that we do share in common is that we want to have a promising future. No matter what field a student may choose to go into, he or she has decided to come to UIC to build a solid background on that subject to prepare for a future career in that area. To some it could be what field produces the largest amount of income, for others it may simple be what they enjoy doing. One thing for sure is that, you choose what you feel, not your environment.

UIC ranks in the top most diverse campuses in the country. Our students come from all different types of backgrounds, ethnicities, races, religions, and communities. Many of our students speak multiple languages, are studying from abroad, or were born in another country. It is a unique opportunity getting to know so many different people. Because of our large diversity, we have a no discrimination policy and the campus is really a place where we can share our unique cultures with one another.

The students at this unniversity are like the ingredients of a garbage salad, everything in it but the sink. No one could ever feel like they are in the minority and everyone is friendly and willing to help one another.

Seeing that I am transferring to this school in the Fall, I really do not know how the student body is.
