ISR is the closest to the engineering part of campus. It tends to be the most popular with engineering students due to convenience. This has been the case since before I lived there in the late 80s. My daughter lives there now and really likes it (not in ENG). The cafeteria was remodeled and expanded a couple of years ago, so it is really nice. Be aware that ISR fills up fast when they open the sign up portal.

Thanks for the feedback.
I thought this was interesting
They completely remodeled the shared areas in addition to the cafeteria. In each hall they they converted the bathrooms to many single use bathrooms with shower. They may have upgraded the HVAC. The room dimensions are the same and the surfaces received new paint and finishes. So the rooms feel more vintage but all common areas are modern.
I hope that helps.

My son applied to a learning community. Does anyone know if these learning communities are competitive, or if it pretty easy to get in if you apply? Also, do you move in earlier for fall semester if you live in a learning community?

Is there a place to see 2022-23 calendar for UIUC? Holiday/Break schedules ? I found this but it does not mention the exact date of various breaks.

I appealed to UIUC and it says my decision is “Program change, we are processing a program change request from you.” I talked to 2 other people who got waitlisted and denied after appeal and never saw this message. Does anyone know what this means?
Are there any students from India here?
Does anyone know if a student can attend an Illini Day, if s/he has been admitted, but has not yet committed?

That’s a major audience for Illini Days.

Okay. I was confused because the website makes it seem like you have to accept your offer first (log in to the portal, etc.). Thank you!
Sitting on a student Q&A session, and the first 3 questions are all about switching majors to Computer Science.

On our visit, we spent some time at the ISR residence halls. The renovated dining hall + the quality of food is just fabulous. The rooms themselves are slightly on the smaller side but S22 really liked UIUC facilities as a whole. Illini Day definitely met our expectations.

That is a good to hear! I heard from daughter’s friends that vegetarian food options was not great. Hopefully we can check out the vegetarian food during Illini day. Do they allow you to see the residence halls during Illini day?
