Why do you like UIUC?

<p>got in here and IUB, so I'm just wanted to get the opinions about the school from some of its students so I can decide which would be a cooler place to go. what do you guys like most about it? thanks in advance.</p>

<p>visit both, obviously. You may hate one and make the decision easy on yourself. </p>

<p>I personally couldn't be happier here. If somone asked me what i liked most about it though, i'd say my major's program. It's small, personable, and so.much.fun. I get tons of extra opportunities because of the program's size, i get teachers who have connections to businesses in chicago, and I get to study in a program consistently named #1 by faculty in universities all over the country as well as USA today...if you place any importance on rankings. </p>

<p>That's gonna change for each major though. I'd imagine the Engineering programs are quite massive, but perhaps no less exciting/beneficial. I happen to be an advertising major. </p>

<p>But come check out your program if they let you. Take a look at the required coursework list and see if you like the material you'll learn in your program. Think about which school will give you better opportunities when you graduate. And DEFINITELY come check out the campus, because after all, studying is only half of college. ...maybe less. </p>

<p>But for god sakes, do it in the spring, the snow has left this place a complete mess.</p>
