NO idea

Julia

Social people who don't feel lost with a lot of people around. Most students here are naturally intelligent and naturally social people who like to make friends and like to meet new people. People who want to drink a lot would love the bars, but there are definitely people who do not drink at all. You can find almost any kind of person you're looking for on campus if you look hard enough.

Jiameng

Anyone who is: social, outgoing, and/or business-, engineer-, and computer science-focused. All ethnicities welcome; however, ethnic and racial groups tend to stick together. Those who are interested in getting internships and post-undergraduate school opportunities in the job market should consider this school. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is one of the top engineering and computer science schools in the world, and those who are considering such majors should expect the rigors that ECE demands.

Kelsey

I really think that any type of person could attend this school. While everyone is unique, you will be able to find your group of friends that you love to hang out with. Plus, there are hundreds of student organizations that you can get involved with to meet new friends!

Ethan

Since the school is rather large, people who can thrive in large groups of people and are very social will fit right in on campus. However, prospective students should be able to balance a social life and classes and not let their time be completely taken up by one or the other. Those that love the big city atmosphere would be better off staying in the city, because Champaign and Urbana aren't exactly the most populated places in Illinois.

Elizabeth

I kind of get irritated when I see students go out to the bars at least 4 times a week. This school is not cheap and when I see students not care that they are so close to failing a class that they have to drop the class, it makes me very confused. A student that wants to attend this school, should also expect and be ready to work hard all the time.
