People who thrive on diversity! The selling point for me when it came to picking University of illinois Urbana-Champaign was when I came down here to visit my friend. Upon meeting the group, I immediately felt a connection to these people as if we'd been friends for years instead of only minutes. Also the size of the town is ideal. I come from a small city a bit larger than this, but it has that big city energy with the small town setting. You get the feeling of being in a traditional college town.

Those who are confident about their future and want to ensure their success in life should attend the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The reason I say this is because a close friend of mine thought he knew what he wanted to do in life, but wasn't motivated enough to power through the coursework to get there. He suffered from depression as a result. I had a similar situation. I knew what I wanted, but I did not do well initially. I have since redeemed myself because I want to succeed.
