[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U. Illinois Urbana?[/quote]Or U of Illinois Chicago.[/quote]

OP here, great advice, and following this we looked into McGill and U Illinois Chicago a little bit. McGill we don't think we'll apply to because she's a little scared of being in a whole different country, even if it's not geographically far away. She was intrigued by U Illinois and we're going to an event for a sibling in Chicago soon, so we'll definitely visit and look around a little. I do agree that the emphasis on empty extracurriculars is ridiculous. My daughter doesn't like sports or music. She's not that good. [b]Plus, she "hates people." [/b]Spending her time doing things that would be forced and unpleasant won't make her a better student or asset to the community at all. In a way I'm proud of her for quitting music when she didn't like it, she recognized that it would only help with college and she didn't actually like it at all. Thank you guys so much.[/quote]She's not alone.  People grate my nerves sometimes too!

Greek town is a stones throw from UIC so if you like Greek food, there are several great restaurants to choose from.  Also, the UIC shuttle will take you over to the medical campus where there are several major hospitals including medical and nursing school.  Also, the School of Pharmacy and several others.  The medical campus is huge and surrounded by dicey neighborhoods but has the best research and medical facilities second to none.  A couple of decades ago, UIC didn't have dormitories (commuter school) but now they do.  There is still a large number of the student body that does commute.  Check and make sure that DC can be dorm accommodated for all four years if necessary.

Just remember that UIC is truly an [b]urban[/b] school with the best restaurants, music, museums, art, shopping right at your feet in the great city of Chicago.  [/quote]
