There
are a million things to do every day and night
if you wanted to, but there is also a LOT
of work to do if you want to get good
grades, balancing these is the key. The place would
be a resort if you didn't have to do homework/projects/papers/exams
etc (for example, if you're an LAS student:). When
you get there first you get thrown into everything, you
need to make an effort to take it all in.
Talk to everyone you can right off the bat,
make friends, it's easy to do if you try just
a little because everyone else wants to do the same
thing. There are a zillion clubs and organizations which
are all laid out for you right away on Quad
Day. CS was tough, I definitely had to work
hard. A lot of the learning you had to
do on your own, and for a lot of the
stuff that's probably the only way you'll really learn it
anyway. In the toughest classes, going to class everyday
was crucial and doing other things like going to office
hours, checking the newsgroup etc. is a big help as
well. How much you put into it directly relates
to how well you do. In general, the school
is great, beautiful campus, great value for in-state, ranked very
high in all engineerings and other programs as well.
Half the people seem to be from Chicago (I wasn't).
The bus system is great, I always walked or
took the bus to everywhere, I didn't need to drive
very much at all. The surrounding city is your
basic mid-sized city, and like most cities in the midwest
it is surrounded by farmland. In my opinion the
school rules the city, that may just be my pride,
but that's fine with me. I decided that I
wouldn't like schools in big cities, it just doesn't seem
to fit. What would you want from the city
anyway? Everything was on campus, thousands of people your
own age, tons of stuff to do. They had
lots of big name concerts so it has the draw
of a big city. There are lots of open
greenspaces on campus to do everything from frisbee to cricket.
The Quad on a warm sunny day is full
of frisbees, footballs, bikinis, people walking to class, on trees
and grass. Campustown is great, lots of restaurants, bars,
shops... There still is no substitute for a campus
bar. Sports are really strong as well. I
never cared much for my teams in high school but
it was different there, a different experience. That is
why I love the school. The whole place has
an amazing energy.
