University of Illinois at Chicago Top Questions

That the state's budget crisis has become the university's.

The most frustrating thing about my school is: The cost of tuition, books, etc. is so much money. I tend to have a hard time buying my books, because everything is so expensive. I usually don't have my books for my classes because I'm too busy trying to find a way to pay for my other school expenses.

Socially the school is extremely seperated. People rarely associate with those of a different background.

Not necesarily the school itself, but the transportation and the commute to school. Being in a being in a major city, commuting isnt the best of experiences. Also there are a couple of fees in which i was very disappointed in, for example, every student is charged around 300 for a u-pass, which gives access to bus and train transportation, but i and many others dont need this convinience , but unfortunately this fee is unwaivable and can't be applied to something else like parking permits or books!!!

The very strong concentration on medical sciences and engineering.

The most frustrating thing about the school is dealing with financial matters.

Sometimes the teachers do not help the students and the TA's do not speak well english.

The classes tend to rush the lectures and important forms a student need for classes are never given to them on time.

Getting financial aid and applying for scholarships and getting denied.
