University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC): Admissions 2025, Fees, Rankings, Scholarships & Courses

• The college has many campuses; our college in particular is widely spread and is not in one particular area, so sometimes you would have classes in two different campuses, but they are not extremely far away; they would all be in the same region, so they should be within walking distance.
• We have all the facilities like a library, sports facilities and medical services. In fact, we have the best medical service because our college also has a special medical campus for studies so we have very good support in terms of medical services and we also have the insurance covered by the UIC medical campus and hence the cost is much lower than what is provided outside.
• There are many campus clubs I am not particularly participating so I have minimal idea on that front. There would be some campus festivals, like the fall party at the start when the college begins, and some more. I am not particularly active in the festivals.
• You can participate in any of the extracurricular activities. Since I did not have the time to do that, I have not enquired about this aspect, but I can say that the gym facility here is outstanding. You would also have boxing classes, zumba classes, wall climbing and everything covered in our UIC sports fees.

• Out-of-state tuition for full-time (12+ credit hours) graduate students at UIC for the Computer Science program is set for a gross tuition of $13,163, a tuition differential of $2,357, mandatory graduate fees of nearly $1,697, and assessments of $623. This adds up to an estimated total semester cost of $17,840. but we do not exactly do 12 credits every semester so my first semester was 3 courses, which is 12 credits then I paid this amount. Later I only took 2 courses per semester since I took an advanced course; then it cost me around $13,000. my total cost through my entire master's was around $45,000.
• The fee is charged semester wise and you also have a scheme to pay it like an EMI in periods. Generally, students who get the GA or TA would prefer paying it themselves in the EMI method so the fee for the semester is breakdown into 4 months and should be paid monthly
• My monthly expense is around 1000 dollars: rent is 500 dollars for a very small private room; electricity and gas are 150 to 250; in winter, it is high due to the heater; and miscellaneous around 250 to 300, like groceries and food I eat outside.

• We have many campuses, mainly west (for medical studies) and east for engineering. There is also a law college in the downtown.
• Library (2 of them west, east), gym (2 of them), sleeping pods, popup pantry (free groceries), night ride (free rides after 10 PM), college students, lot of study areas (literally every area is a study area), good wifi, many free events, career services, wellness center, commuter centre, etc.
• Thanksgiving clubs are mostly sports-related, and basketball is top-class and very popular.
• There are hundreds of student clubs, including indian clubs for celebrating indian festivals and 400+ student organisations, including the Society of women in engineering

• The fee is 12k per semester if taken 9 credits and 17k if taken 12 credits. And this is it—no additional fee academically or for insurance. In total, 36 credits. Hostel is something different again and off-campus housing would range from 400 to 850 depending on the type of room and quality/location. Semester wise, 3.800 dollars
• 480 rent (can vary), 50 groceries, 150 utilities, miscellaneous

• UIC is taking us to Missouri free of charge to watch our basketball team play other teams. All hotel and bus rides are paid for so that speaks loads about how much they care for their students well-being.
• They have a club for everything from archery to swimming; everything is covered. A library, sports facility, badminton court, the best gym , also UIC has a medical center on the campus itself.
• I am the Vice President of the Computer Science Graduate Association. I deal with students in CS who come in to UIC as new students. I help with placements, seminars with people who have landed amazing jobs and just fun activities all year around. So if you are a CS student and are proactive, there is a high chance we will bump into each other.

The experience at UIC was great. The course structure and prof and especially part time job opportunities are good. Chicago is a place where commute is easier in the city and UIC is also close to downtown. Facilities like night ride(free rides for UIC students post 11pm, 24*7 library during exam times, Early morning gym timings) are very useful for international students.

UIC has different clubs(I was not a part of any). Most of the bachelor's course students join these clubs. They organize events on Indian festivals as well. UIC organizes dinner during exam times, special events for international students, job and career fairs. The classes are well equipped with echo 360, projector screens etc, library with macbooks , a very big gym etc.

I chose this program because it is one of the most highly ranked programs in the field of health economics and outcomes research. The faculty members are widely recognized both nationally and internationally. Also, previous students from my undergrad college had attended this program and shared their positive experiences and highly recommended joining it.

There are Indian undergraduate and graduate student associations on campus that regularly hold events like Indian festivals, or other informal gatherings. There are two huge libraries and gyms on the east and west side of campus respectively. Wifi is available throughout campus and the university also provides access to eduroam which is a wifi network that can be accessed while on campus of other academic institutions

My fascination with science propelled me to choose Biotechnology for my under graduation. I decided to further study this course in detail by majoring in the medicinal side of biotechnology. I then started hunting for MS in Medical Biotechnology which was offered only by a few universities in the United States and the University of Illinois at Chicago was one among them.

$65000 for two years including living expenses.

This is a premiere institute for research comes within 250 rank in the world.

I have funding for my tuition fees. something around 48000 dollars

I chose university of Illinois at Chicago because it was fairly close to home (I commuted about 3 hours a day every day) and the education was fairly affordable compared to the other colleges close to home.

Tuition included paying for teachers, the facilities, computers and computer labs, CTA passes were given to all students. Do not remember how much each thing was.
