It is safe to say that I am very impressed after my first year at the University of Illinois, offering a little something for everyone. It is a very fun and interactive university that has a little something for everyone. I am currently pursuing my graduate studies in the urban and regional planning department and was drawn to the program, greatly due to the flexibility offered by the courses taught by world-class faculty in the department. I would highly recommend utilizing all parts of campus life from dining halls to student organizations, to feel involved and the most at home.
