Use the unique opportunity of university travelling. At low cost students can see a big part of the US and have lots of fun.
When travelling alone or with friends, rent a car is the best way to go.

It would have been nice to be informed about the fact that you could no longer attend financial classes from the CBA via LAS.

It's hard to get the classes you need and want; if you are a business major and want to do something different, then you should really go there!

It's a cool party university in the middle of nowhere. The campus is awesome, and I like it best of all campus I've seen (I saw UCLA, Berkeley, McGill). As an international you will really party a lot. But for traveling on the weekend the location is, for sure, not the best. It takes a long time by bus to get to Chicago. The sports facilities are great, certainly when IMPE opens again it will be overwhelming. Buy a car, otherwise you are stuck!!!

Chicago is close and in my opinion the best city in the US. To the south there´s St. Louis, which has some good Blues and Jazz Bars. You should also visit the Amish people in the West of the school and you should definitely spend a day at the lakes...

I wish I had known...
Maybe the weather, I knew it was going be very cold but not so cold. Well, I am from Panama where is always hot. But, Urbana Champaign is a really nice place and it has a study environment, so in the overall I was very happy studying there.

I recommend it to everybody. It is a good and safe place. It has nice people and a lot of international students, but the most important, is that law school is very good and it has a very good faculty, willing to help international students.

If you go to University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, you wont feel alone. It is a students place, so wherever you go, you will find students. It has a nice community and it is one of the best universities in the US. At least in law it is very good.

good courses, huge library, good campus life. avoiding to value the cultural differences helps a lot. and there are quiet some, so be prepared (books (Studienhalber in den USA; Thomas) or trainings). take your time before the semester to get some orientation here (1 week).
