Major: Education (This Major's Salary over time)
I am 22 years old, and have had a hard time searching for a school and major that fits what I am all about. I have finally found it, after roaming the halls of both DePaul and Columbia College, as well as sifting through booklets of Northwestern, Northeastern, and Dominican. I have heard the stereotypes that it is a cold place, with few teachers that speak English, but the fact is it is not high school, and it IS an URBAN campus, with diversity, and ethnicity.I have not been at UIC very long, but my brother graduated from here, and still keeps in touch with professors he had, as well as the countless friends he made here.I have already found generous people in the Liberal Arts office who pointed me in the right direction about what direction to take and the basketball games at the pavilion are always fun. And after a late Wednesday class, I watched the Yankees get into the World Series (boo!) on a huge screen at the "Inner Circle" with a number of other kids.Ok, it's not an Ivy league school, so if you're looking for prestige and a hoity toity attitude, turn and take the red line up to Loyola or the purple up to Northwestern. But if you want a genuine experience, where you can talk to anyone from the Rhodes scholars to the janitors in the same manner, on the same day, then hop off the Blue line and get your a$$ into UIC!!
