My
first year at Illinois was actually a bit intimidating. The
campus itself is huge, and there are so many students
that it can be pretty easy to be overwhelmed. Fortunately,
this feeling lasted only a short time, since the university
feels much smaller once you find your place. I have
met great people that are from all over the country
and the world (but it's true that the great majority
of them are from the Chicagoland area). There are countless
ways to be involved, with RSOs (Registered Student Organizations) that
cover almost all interests, including sports clubs, political clubs, and
even a club that meets to watch Seinfeld. It's also
true that there are a HUGE number of Greek organizations
to join, and although I did not, it seems like
an overall great group of people, and I have met
many friends that are part of the Greek Community. To
like it here, you have to be involved- you will
meet some great friends and have lots more fun. Also,
take a time to explore the vast campus. The architecture
is beautiful and timeless- it definitely gives you the feeling
of campuses you see in movies. Champaign and Urbana are
not the most exciting towns, but there's still lots to
do, and there's definitely plenty to do within the campus
itself. I've had very few big lecture classes, although the
ones I have had were taught by excellent professors that
were very comfortable and interesting in front of large groups.
And of course, there are plenty of sports activities (football,
basketball, hockey) that are a lot of fun to go
to with friends and family. Also, the university has been
consistently ranked in the top 10 of the nation's public
universities, and it has the largest public university library in
the world. Overall, Illinois may be intimidating at first, but
it's a great place, and should definitely be considered if
you're looking for a big school with lots of resources
and opportunities.
