 | Quite Bright | UIC is a substandard school compared to UIUC, MSU, NIU and Iowa. The places for studying are cramped and often depressing. The campus is very ugly with prison-like buildings that are dirty and in disrepair. UH has a covered boardwalk around the building so chunks of concrete do notbean students. SES is the most ugliest and confusing building on campus. There are water leaks in the central part of the building with falling plaster. People scurry about avoiding the downfall and trying to ignore the horrid conditions. I tried to find a Profs office but the signade is so poor I got lost. This is a sink or swim place with many students sinking, like 50% with no degree after 6 years. People vacate UIC at night because of safety issues and because there a few places to meet. UIC does not offer a quality College experience and should be avoided by all. What a waste of years and money! | Collaboration/Competitive: B+, Innovation: F | | | |

| | This is an awful place. The coursework is not challenging and there is zero sense of community. Plus, the campus is aesthetically wretched. Extracurricular activities are actually few as most have to do with religious/cultural activities. The only worthwhile ones are health related or student government. Student publications, even Honors College ones, are crap. No one speaks to anyone here. There are so many Middle Eastern/South Asians here who all have family connections outside the University. If you can afford somewhere else, go there. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT A HAPPY COLLEGE EXPERIENCE. | Preparedness: -, Reputation: - | | | |

| Quite Bright | The school is 60% Asian. Not that I am elitist or racist, however, foreigners tend to "shut up" keep their heads down, and go along with any and everything. This does not provide for a health and wholesome academic environment. In other words they do not DARE speak up or against injustices. The school is UGLY AS HELL. Depressing looking architecture, sad and depressing looking students. Dull and un-alive students plague this university. The faculty takes themselves too seriously. The atmosphere at UIC is one of fear, paranoia, and pure individualism. Overall, the atmosphere here toxic. HOWEVER, UIC does have great science/medical/engineering programs. And there are a few Great Professors. But overall, no one appears to be enjoying life. Or even contented with life or themselves. and the students do not speak to each other. It is a clannish environment. Every ethnicity hangs within their own enclaves and most of the students project a severe low-self esteem persona. Even the honor students-who mostly do not speak in class and look like dears in headlights when they are spoken too. | Surrounding City: A, Collaboration/Competitive: F | | | |
