The professors are exceptionally dedicated at this university. I have not had an instructor who was not well known and accredited in their feild, and I have gone through three different majors from Engineering to English. Beyond their dedication and knowledge, they are nice people who will go out to a coffee shop, sometimes even a pub, with students just to get to know them better. Good people is the best things this UIUC has to offer. And education, that too of course.

I love the unity that is present at this school. No matter your gender, race, religion, or cultural backround, there is a place for you to belong on this campus. I never wanted to go anywhere else, because the University of Illinois is place where you can go to get an excellent education, while making lifelong relationships with people from all different backrounds. I believe that everyone that goes here will leave an extremely learned and well rounded person.

UIUC has a huge collection of resources. You should never run into any problem related to not having what you need to learn what you need to learn for any given class.

The best thing about the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the research-driven and academically-focused atmosphere as well as incorporating the idea of having fun while working. Mixing research, academic studies, and enjoyment within really makes the university not just great for future careers but also for developing the next generation of students and faculty.

The best thing about the U of I is that it is not just a school. It carries with it a reputation. When an employer looks at your resume and sees Illinois on it, that will help your chances greatly. It will be hard work to graduate from this school, but the benefits of doing so will be helpful for your whole career. Also, there is a vast network of alumni that want to help out graguates of their school, so you have a leg up on most competition before you even have any job experience.
