I am a big boy, for the other big backs out there, the thermal underwear are great for keeping warm if you are outside. However after walking and then going into an Academic building afterwards, shew they get toasty so just beware.
Hey! This is a really good video. I am an incoming sophomore (just got done w freshman year) at uiuc. I am also in the process of figuring my way out to transfer into cs + econ/ cs + econ. I know your schedule might seem incredibly busy but I’d really appreciate it if I could chat w you sometime!
I plan on applying to UIUC as a finance major, just a quick question Is it possible to Take a minor and do part time jobs and still enjoy time at the uni
Answered in the new Q&A Video! Most grad students look for apartments slightly outside of campus or even get a house. Make sure you look at the reviews and get a tour of the house first if possible
if money isn't a problem and you want to live on Campus, def find an apartment in the Champaign side because some Urbana apartments are crusty asf. There are nice apartment complexes like HERE and SEVEN but pricy. But the apartments opposite lincoln ave in Urbana are pretty good and relatively close to campus.
Thanks Brian for the informative video. I am from Bay Area, California and visited the campus just 2 days ago. My daughter got accepted there for Data Science as Major and Computer Science as minor. She is also accepted in UC Davis for the same. If possible, would you compare and share your opinion? we need to decide between UC Davis and Urbana Champaign. Thanks
Hi, I got into both and will be attending Urbana Champaign for CompE. I’m out of state for both colleges, but in the end UIUC gave me a much better financial aid package. Either way, I would choose Illinois(it’s just better).
was the campus diverse? Do you think black students had spaces to be comfortable in etc. I’m considering going here to get a bachelors degree in computer science but i’m concerned about diversity. I don’t wanna be one of the only black students on campus haha.
Hi! Yeah I think the campus was pretty diverse, there’s a bunch of student orgs where you will def find people you mesh with. I remember filming a fashion show thing hosted by the black student union org called Cotton Club Week which was really cool, I’d check that out!
also i am a business undeclared major planning on doing entrepreneurship or finance at UIUC and if I go to UGA I am planning to do Business Administration. I am kinda stuck on what to chose mainly because UGA will be in state for me.
i got into UIUC for agricultural and biological engineering, but i want to go into environmental engineering. would you say i should go somewhere else or uiuc?
Usually only a handful of flights to Champaign and they have to go through ohare. In addition the flights get cancelled if there’s not enough people on them which leaves you stranded at ohare
I grew up in the Midwest (Champaign/Minneapolis/Milwaukee) and people there do not immediately accept outsiders. You have to go through a kind of time test. Some people's initiation takes less time than others. Once you're in, you have a solid group of friends and then once other people see you are in a crowd, they relax and it rolls on from there---
Do you know anything about UT Austin? I am accepted to both uni and now very confused which one to take. It’s civil engineering graduate program, and I am an international student. Do you have any suggestion or recommendation to hep me deciding which campus?
