<p>I heard from my friends and my mom that UIUC's computer science program is very rigorous and difficult (mom said most students get 30-40% in their courses) and that students don't have much free time. Can any current student at UIUC confirm or disprove this?</p>
<p>I have taken 2 the first two courses in the CS-Engineering program. From my experience, the classes can be a bit difficult if you have no programming experience prior. In terms of grades, i dont know anyone who has gotten that low of a score. Future classes are probably harder, but through the first 2 courses, I have had plenty of free time and done well in both classes.</p>
