I went to UIC right after highschool, because when I visited there first time, it looked like a quite diverse campus community of white, latino, black and asian. And I also looked at the big lecture halls and I thought it would be a good idea. But when I started attending, I felt the biggest burden and loneliness there. Professors a lot of time went by slides or power point without explaining the concept thorougly. Also, since the lecture hall was so big, it was hard to meet the same people again or even start a conversation. Most of the time, I jsut went to class, and left after the class was over. It was just so lonely place. Sometimes I met a friend for one semester and was hard to seem them the following semester(mainly because i was taking lot of intro classes). As other peple said, in science and math classes, you mostly have to self teach. Many times, I got sick and tired of routine sleepy lecture, I could not sit for more than 10 or 20 minuites.

This school seriously is the worst school possible in illinois, and i would not recommend it to anyone. And as someone said, becaue of the quality of the teachings are so low, you would not get out here with much learning, so thus undesirable to the employers. And to be honest, I enjoyed some of the liberal arts course such as anthropology and sociologies, and criminal justice, but those are it. And I really think it is a waste of money to go to this school, and for a better future, peple should seek other institutions. And i think it is a really good school if you can learn just by textbooks by yourself. I sometimes attneded a group study, and teacher, and tutoring( both graduate and undergraduate), it did not help at all. UIC seriously needs to do something about their education, otherwise, many will hate this place and they will also recommend others from attending it. I am currently attending other school after community college, and I had a great experience at community college because they actually teach the class. It is important to find the teacher that really teach.
