University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Fantastic place to go to if your pet is having a medical emergency. I'm not even going to bother anymore calling my veterinarian when this happens since they always make you wait several days. Staff is very polite and genuinely concerned for the animals welfare.

It's ok. Campus is very large and seemed like it needed a lot of work. I understand that it's an old university, but with all of the graffiti, seemed like we were walking around Dailey college in the city. Felt very unsafe. We had a tour and intro for the college for possible incoming Freshman, and we has to park on the street and pay rather than park in the parking lot (for staff only) that was right behind the place where the presentation was being held. And, the lot was practically empty. We asked about where we could eat lunch on campus, and the tour guide told us the eat at the dining hall, so we did. $14 per person later we found out that 95% of the food options were not available/closed. So we had options of veggie burgers, turkey corn dogs, and pizza that was worse than frozen pizza. They say that you experience the Freshman 15 and gain 15 pounds, but with these limited food options it seems like you won't have a problem with that. Send your kid here instead of fat camp to lose weight. Poorly run Freshman presentation and amenities. Tuition is very high even for in state students.

I was in UIUC to see off my Nephew. The university campus is humongous . The college buildings are awesome , transport system within the university is great(sometimes it takes a long time), there are dedicated bike lanes and accessibility access almost all places they boast the biggest engineering library . The orientation program was good and informative, people seem efficient and I am sure teaching staff is also great There are quite a few frat houses and student quarters around the university The restaurant selection is great and the university also has multiple on campus food court, and surprisingly have a lot of good vegetarian options as well Students who really want to learn well can do wonders. Great place to study and enjoy
