Academic excellence and innovation.
Tips: After coming here, I have had to adjust to a new place, which included some cultural shifts. The way people do things here is a bit different from my home country, but it's been a valuable learning experience. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship. I'm very satisfied with my university. They offer excellent support and resources.
Likes (Safety): In my college, they make sure we're safe with bright paths, emergency phones, and cameras. They teach us what to do in emergencies. The city is usually good, the people are nice, and there are cool things to do. Sometimes traffic is a hassle, but that's not a big deal compared to the fun stuff.
Dislikes (Student Life): My college days are a mix of classes, study sessions and extracurricular. I enjoy the freedom and diverse events on campus, from cultural festivals to club activities. There's always something happening, and I try to participate when I can. Student clubs cover a wide range of interests and I've made friends in academics and social experiences and I love the opportunities it brings.

Fantastic experience, a definite recommendation for any aspiring applicant!
Tips: I must mention that if you are a graduate student, you get a monthly stipend. The university will cover the tuition fees, and the stipend (or salary) given is very decent. Academically, this is one of the best universities you'll ever come across. The workload can be really demanding at times, but I guess all good places have that in common.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors here are top-notch, at least in my department. The Chemistry department boasts some of the best researchers in their field, including a Nobel laureate. In terms of teaching, professors are usually very chill and easy to approach. One shouldn't have too many issues with regard to the faculty.
Dislikes (Safety): Chicago isn't known to be a safe city, including the area around the campus. However, if you follow basic rules eg. don't go out alone on the streets at night, etc. you should be fine. I must say though, that the university tries its best to keep the students safe.
