The college I attend was not in the choices listed. I go to Moody Bible Institute, and I do online courses. The best thing about this school is that it has the highest accreditation that exists, so this helps insure that my courses will transfer to my states college. The other great thing about this college is that they are in partnership with the service Gap year program I am in this year, and they give the students a discount to take courses through them. I am thankful that I am able to do this!

For the money that I'm paying, I'm revieving a good education. Also, I'm in a good spot for this particular field (Chicago/computer science). One of the problems with this survey is that I'm answering questions for the "college" that I'm in (school of engineering) and the University as a whole, and the answers vaty greatly depending on which one I'm thinking about. And I havn't been consistent. In any case, it's a fantastic college, and a so-so university.

I would have to say that the best thing about the school is it's diversity. UIC is known to be one of the most ethnically diverse schools in the country.

I really like the library of my school. It is so organized, and students can study there without disturbance. There are different floors for different types of setting a student likes. There is one floor that is really quiet, and if a student wants to study in groups, there is a different floor for that. Also, there are computers on each and every floor. And, there are printers too, but not on every floor. Also, the campus is really pretty too.

The location allows for convience and diverse opportunites.

The culturally rich atmosphere and rock solid support system located in the heart of the best city in the world! There is never a dull moment and always something spetacular to learn about the city and about your school. Every student gets individualized attention and an instructor devoted to the well-being of their students. There is a very wide variety of choices of Major/Minor and electives.

The students that live on campus are a tight knit group/community.

The best thing about my school is the teachers. It is the best thing because most of them are energetic which brings energy to the classs especially when classes are about a hour long. They also bring new ideas into the classroom and promote more of a desire to the learn the subject they teach.

Lastly, I feel the business school program that I attend is a quality offering. It has a competitive national rank, and the teachers I've met thus far are excellent. The diversity of the student body is a real bonus. I have friends from virtually everywhere.

The best thing about my school is: Most of my professors are willing to take time out of their busy schedule to help students who are having a difficult time in their class. Before I entered college, many people would say that in college it is "every man for themself." In other words, every student is on their own and will not receive any assistance because professors have many students. I came to find out that, that statement was false. Most of my professors have been their in time of need, and I am grateful.

The best thing about my school is the diversity that is present. There is a big representation of many different countries from around the world. There is also a big diversity in the economic status of many students that attend school here in Chicago.

I ask myself this question as I finish my last courses at Triton Community College, and I see that my answer now is very different than what my answer would have been almost 2 years ago. I would have to say that the single best part of this school is it's ability to help students learn better studying, which they can use when they move onto a 4 year university. This opportunity helped me to better my grades, afford myself a general ed. education, and also to be responsible and to learn better studying and learning habits for UIC.
