What Students Say?
Likes
- Campus: The school is a home to many students. It has a really huge and beautiful campus with loads of fun things to do around, amazing restaurants, great places to hang around, and a huge library!
- Academics: The professors in my program are really knowledgeable and helpful. I really enjoyed the lectures!
Dislikes
- Class size: There were around 90 students due to which sometimes the seats got full to a particular class of a particular professor too quickly and I had to take that course next semester.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a prestigious school. It is renowned for academic excellence, especially in my field, that is computer science and data analytics. The MSIM program that I had taken was a perfect blend of technology and management, which aligned with my career aspirations.
Course Curriculum
The number of credits in this program is 40 credits that you need to complete in the span of 1.5-2 years. I did it in 2 years. The curriculum was diverse enough for students to take what they liked, ranging from courses in tech, management and even consulting.
Placement
The placements are good. You have opportunities offered by Research Park which is a part of the campus and you can do internships and get a full-time job there. Great networking events and career services overall.
Fees
The program is pretty affordable as compared to private universities as this is a public university. There are plenty of on-campus jobs that one can take up in order to manage everyday finances along with rent and utilities.

Campus Life
I was not a part of any of the clubs but I do know that there are many for the people who are interested in it. There are a lot of celebrations for different festivals though.
Hostel
I did not opt for an on campus accommodation instead I opted for an accommodation under the 'Smile' leasing agent. They have plenty of apartments. I opted for a 4b2b and had a rent of around $600/month including utilities, groceries can come up to around $200-300-400 depending on your lifestyle.
