Western Illinois University (WIU) Courses and Fees 2025

• I have opred for Computer science program, where I found few subjects familiar that I did in my Bachelor's degree (Information technology). Topics in those subjects were known to us before. But later on we will learn new topics and get exposed to practicality, that was not present during Bachelor's.
• On the other hand about the dificulty level, I would say my course cirriculum was not too tough. Because we get to do assignments regularly (every week) and we get to learn the subject and gain in-depth.
• I also opted for Advanced courses and Electives which are mandatoy subjects to pick according to the cirriclulum. I don't see any negative aspects of my program. 

• The estimated fee for 9months is around $22,000 which includes tuition fee and other expenses.
• University fee is based on semester - wise ($5000 approx) and I got a scholarship of $2000 for every semester.
• Accommodation is very reasonable and at low cost compared to other cities.
• A $300 every month is a minimum cost for each person every month, which includes rents, groceries, power bill and personal expenses
   

Very friendly professors and fairly easy course work. It's difficult enough to challenge but with the ability of the great professors to teach and help, it seems simple. There aren't many tests, mainly things like lesson plans.

Housing is fairly expensive, roughly 3 grand a semester. Tuition is the most, running about 600 dollars per credit hour. Which is a lot when you're taking 15-16 credit hours a semester. Luckily I get FAFSA and scholarships to cut down the cost to only about 2 grand a semester.
