Proud to be an Illini

Introduction
I was a little overwhelmed at first when I had a lecture with 500 other students. It makes you wonder if your going to get enough attention from your professor. The truth is it's really not as bad as you think. There are teaching assistants that help you out and you don't even realize you are in a class with so many other people.

Campus Life and Social Life
UofI is huge on social life. Besides having the largest greek system in the country, we are huge on sports. Our basketball team is one of the best in the country and last year we made it to the NCAA championship game. You will never see an empty seat at a basketball game. Advertisement
Academics
U of I is known for its engineering and business schools. I am a marketing major and have taken some business classes. i would say the quality of the business classes are high. my business teachers were always accessible to me and always willing to help.

Student Body
There are so many students at U of I that you are sure to make friends. Once you have your group of friends you sort of forget that you go to school with 40,00 other people. Another good thing is that with every new class you take you make new friends. I will make friends with people just because we have a class together.

In Closing...
I love U of I and couldn't imagine being anywhere else!
