University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign?

Brian

Often times if I'm planning to actually brag about it, I go right for the throat: it's the #1 ranked school in the US for my major, and in addition to that, it's barely 10 minutes away from my actual home. Next comes a description of our campus' aesthetic beauty, and then I finish them off with a description of our Engineering fame and our huge size and amount of available activities.

Amanda

I brag about the size of the school: both population and campus opportunities. I feel the size is what will make this college experience richer because you are surrounded by people from all over the world with various backgrounds and ideas. It will be simple to make valuable connections with those people. There will also be so many opportunities avaliable to find an interest or concentrate on one already and find people to do it with you.

I like to brag most about the quad. This piece of land in the middle of the entire campus, that was my second sanctuary and I believe that its' inspiring and creative nature makes it unparallel to any other school.

Jillian

It is top rated in almost every major, and we are #1 for being a top party school that also does well in school and gets jobs after graduation.

Meghan

We are rated very highly educational-wise, especially for my major. We are ranked on having a very high starting salary average after graduation.

U of I is a top 10 school. It is very difficult to get into the school and they have one of the best foreign language departments for Portuguese in the country.

Elizabeth

There is such a great social scene. I love how many clubs and activities there are along with a great night life.

Ivy

Whenever I talk to other students, I make sure to tell them about the friendly, fun and ambitious atmosphere at Illinois. I never feel intimidated to ask questions in class or approach my teachers. I get to live with my best friends who I made right here on campus and there is always something fun happening to keep students out of trouble, and more importantly boredom. I feel like I'm surrounded by people willing to help me be the best I can in my education. I make sure that everyone knows I feel at home and U of I.
