It's hard to give UIC a bad review, or any school for that matter! I truly believe that every experience is what you make it out to be. The resources are available, but you have to be ambitious and look for those resources yourself! I mean, c'mon people! I'm sick and tired of people complaining about how its not competitive enough or how resources are scarce, well ill be the first to say that is complete bull crap! Your adults now working towards a profession, you cant expect things to be handed to you! Personally, the staff, meaning academic advisers really care about you! They always scrutinize your transcripts and guide you towards the appropriate classes you should be taking. They will NOT place you in a class they know you will fail based on your academic history. They are very realistic when it comes to choosing the academic path you should be taking. Its a huge campus and class size varies my course type. A community feeling? eh somewhat, but like i said not everyone knows each other, and usually a solution to that is joining some type of club. If you don't socialize with people by taking the initiative to join clubs and go to meetings then you cant expect to make friends. I live 15 minutes away from UIC by car, and when i commuted it was not bad at all. The food there is great! theres many options. We have wendys, sbarros pizza, subway, and even other restaurants that are a 5 minute walk on taylor street. Overall great experience!
