[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just visited UIUC after a stop at NorthWestern. Huge school but well laid out, and plenty to do, and a gazillion majors. This is our 2nd child going thru the college process, so we've toured many other schools, but this is the 1st time we experienced so much kindness from folks not in admissions. Several examples where folks (staff, students, etc) came up to us to ask if we needed anything...it was so refreshing and just left an impression on all of us. Case in point, the librarian gave us a personal tour of the library as he saw us just wandering around.

The downside, a bit of PIA to get to if ur OOS.[/quote]

Midwestern nice is real. And it can be a shock to the system coming from DC.

UIUC does very well with FAANG. It's a legit top school for CS and engineering. And it's generally solid overall. But it's one of those schools where you can get an interview with Google but you are unlikely to get an interview with JP Morgan. It's a good regional school, but flies below the radar nationally except in tech. But UIUC is seriously outstanding in CS and engineering, which are usually super hard, single digit admits for those two majors.  [/quote]

makes sense but some of their other programs also took us by surprise because of size/scope, for example we walked around the Performing Arts Theater and I don't think I've seen a bigger space for theater/actor junkies....I mean, there were 5 levels of this huge building with anything/everything you would want.[/quote]
