 Isn't it hard to say the social life sucks when you commute there? |

I am currently a freshman and deeply regret ever coming here. My sister went UIC and hated it, but I figured commuting wouldn't be too bad because then I would have extra time in my day. If I wasn't stuck in a horrible class, I was on a train getting to or getting away from them.Okay, yes, I will admit it is very nice to have a campus in the middle of the city. It gives me something to do when I decided to just skip my horrible classes. My teachers, although very bright, did not know how to teach. It was hard to get extra help and when I did, it barely qualified for help.School work is difficult. I think because most of the professors are aimed at research and such, not at educating the students. They don't really treat you like a student.Social life sucks. I was on a dance team, which was fun. I met some great people, but other than those people, I didnt meet anybody else. It is extremely hard to make friends at this university.If you are considering going here, find on campus housing (you may make a couple friends) , get a job (to kill time), and don't depend on professors or your advisors to help you out with anything.Needless to say, I am transferring out next year and I have only been here for one semester.
