The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is very different than the other schools I had considered. To begin with UIUC is topped rank in civil engineering which really caught my attention since I had chosen that career path. Before starting college I visited the campus through the Society of Hispanic Engineers (SHPE), the visitation consisted of many engineering workshops and engineering activities around campus, members of the society really showed us a good time and provided us with a great experience. Through this visitation is how I finalized my decision to come to UIUC.

One unique thing about U of I is its diversity. U of I consists of many people from different race, culture, religion, and background. U of I is known for being one of the largest university with the most international undergraduate students. I think I wouldn't have been able to find this kind of diversity at any other university. I personally wanted to make the most of my college experience by meeting as many people as I could and diversity at U of I was a big plus.

Not a campus as much as it is living in the city and going to class

The thing that's unique about my school is that there is a wide range of diversity. There are people who attend my school who are from all over the United States, China, Japan, Africa, Mexico, India, and many other countries around the world.

I don't really know much about other schools because I always knew that I would go to the University of Illnois In Champaign since I was in middle school. The University in my opinion is very diverse. Not having much diversity in the high school I attended in Chicago, the university has opened my understanding to other people of ethnic backgrounds and their customs. The University of Illinois also has reliable staff members where they are there to help you when you need them and don't restrict educational time to just a couple of hours for office hours.

I think the location is a bit strange. We're situated a few hours from any large cities and surrounded by farmland, so the students have really developed a community and created a large social network that is very extensive and amazing.

The Illini loyalty is one of the things that makes this University unique. Alumni as well as current students are dedicated to their school and its athletic teams. Students who attend the University of Illinois "bleed" orange and blue. This makes attending sporting events such a fun and memorable experience.
