<p>hehehe, I know. What major are you?</p>
<p>im compE right now switichin to cs</p>
<p>new curriculum or the old one?</p>
<p>Hmm... I'm actually thinking of applying to UIUC for grad school in civil engineering. Good idea / bad idea?</p>
<p>stay away from CS!!!!</p>
<p>i got into ChemE....is that hard there?</p>
<p>ChemE and ECE are considered the two hardest majors at UIUC and probably elsewhere too. UIUC's ChemE curriculum does not include a single free elective, with 95 hours of specified courses and 34 hours of restricted electives (16 GenEds and 18 technical electives). If you don't have 3 years of high school foreign language, you'll have to find a way to fit 3 semesters of college credit in there somewhere too.</p>
<p>Yeah it's hard but worth it. I finally get to take another gen ed next semester. If you come in with credit then it will be much easier on you. If not then it's gonna be tough. I have 17 hours of math, science, and engineering classes this semester. Brutal doesn't even begin to describe it.</p>
<p>Also for right now I'm grading the majors on difficulty of the courses and number of weedouts. ChemE has the most with physics & math just like every other engineering major. Then they have an accelerated chem & chem lab which are both a great amount of work and time devotion. Then chemE comes soph with acc orgo and those are continually weeding out. That's why it is the hardest major (as of right now, ECE is starting to get hard [like chemE hard] for my friends) but overall the other engineering majors have had it easier and more free time.</p>
<p>Ken, I'm in UIUC Civ (Structural) grad. If you want recommendations/advice/opinions, go ahead and PM me... I've had an... interesting... experience at UIUC.</p>
