The University of Illinois is home to all kinds of students, but is not right for everyone. Illinois is a huge school. Undergraduates may have to take a class in a 200-700 person lecture hall. Also, the campus itself is large and it could potentially take 25 minutes to walk to just one class. If the big campus environment scares you, U of I is not the school for you.

The school is for everyone who feel that they are not sure what they want to do in life and for those who have known their whole lives. If you are not motivated and have no dreams or goals then you should not attend this school.
Brian
Someone that is striving for eduacational excellence and a strong base to launch a successful career. Must be willing to put in the time academically but still be part of the many extra curricular activites.

This campus has so many niches or communities that it would be hard to describe someone who wouldn't feel comfortable here. It is a large school that is sometimes overwhelmingly diverse, so someone who prefers a smaller, more quiet setting may not be comfortable here. While there are great athletic facilities, the surrounding landscape is largely agriculture with almost no elevation change - it can be monotonous. People who enjoy outdoor activities might be disappointed. But all in all, many communities make up this campus and one could surely find within our populous a home where they feel comfortable.

The person who should not attend this school is the person who is afraid to learn, to discover, to live life. This school offers so much to each student that it is almost impossible to not find your own path.

With the University of Illinois being such a large school, it is hard to believe that anyone would not find something they love about the school with the wide variety of things it offers. However, if someone is initially looking for a more personalized education where they are in smaller classes and get direct interactions with the professor, they may not want to attend University of Illinois. With some entry level lectures containing hundreds of students, they will need to take the initiative to seek out the teacher for help, pushing students to be more independent.
Santine
Someone who is not used to big schools because U of I is a really big school. Someone who cannot sit in lectures of more than 50 people should not attend this school.
Arielle
Someone who is close-minded & not open to diversity and being around a lot of people. The U of I campus is most definitely one of the largest. If you are going to be a student here, you CANNOT be withdrawn. Making friends and networking is a benefit to ANY and EVERYONE...attending U of I only makes that much easier!
Karan
There is so much diversity at the University of Illinois that there isn't a type of person that shouldn't attend this school. In fact, the University is so diverse that if one looks, every type of person can be found. At first it may seem difficult to find a niche if you don't join the Greek system, but even if you don't join a fraternity or sorority, you'll find your place.

Someone who wants a small school definitely should not attend this school. It is absolutely huge and it's easy to get overwhelmed if you don't join the right organizations that make the school feel smaller. Also, if you like the city, this isn't the college for you. It's a college town in the middle of Illinois.
