University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC) Courses and Fees 2025

• The difficulty level of the course curriculum was especially difficult and required a lot of focused attention to the content. It was a mix of both theoretical and practical learning for most courses. However there were some courses with complete focus on theory.
• The positive aspects about my course would be the quality of the professors present to teach the content.
• The negative aspects would definitely be the level of difficulty of some of the courses being extremely high. 

• The breakdown of the fees is approximately 20k USD for tuition + 6-7k USD for hostel + food for each semester. There are no other charges. Any miscellaneous charges get added to your tuition. The per semester tuition is approximately 30k USD.
• The feed is charged semester-wise at UIUC. However, if you exceed a certain number of credits per semester then it also increases.
• There is no expense on transportation and rent for the first year. However, if you choose to live in an apartment, then the rent is approximately 900 USD per month per person for a good apartment and regular expenses include groceries which come up to 500-600 USD a month when living in an apartment. There is no need for groceries when living in a dorm.

I had to finish 32 credits and one of the best parts was there were no required courses. Curriculum was very flexible and the courses have learned not only technical skills but also people skills like presenting to people, researching etc. The faculty student ratio is a good 1:30

I did an inward remittance from India and paid the fees directly, we can also use flywire. I was lucky enough to get funding for my 2nd and 3rd semester where I got my Teaching Assistantships which helped me with my tuition and living expenses.

Good Curriculum and variety of courses. Opportunities for research with faculty.

Tuition fee: Around 60L

I enjoyed the course curriculum and academics. However, it was often difficult to get help and professors are very slow at grading. I enjoyed being able to use a message board system though to ask my TAs questions about the class.

I chose University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign because it has a very good computer science program and a lot of resources. The professors are very impressive and a lot of research is done at the school.
