<p>is there a good site to find out which professors to try and get for classes?</p>

<p>If your a CS major:
<a href="https://courseguide.cs.uiuc.edu/%5B/url%5D">https://courseguide.cs.uiuc.edu/</a></p>
<p>basically, you should ask around. ratemyprofessors can be so-so.</p>
<p>I wouldn't bother with it b/c doing that and then trying to come up with a schedule at U of I, it's probably real difficult to get the exact class, exact time, and exact teacher that you want. </p>
<p>You're gonna have some crappy teachers, deal with it. There's more stupid teachers at U of I than mean teachers, at least from what I experienced in my first year there.</p>
