Amazing curriculum and campus life.

Tips: One of the greatest universities in the US. Amazing curriculum and campus life. Plenty of on campus part-time opportunities. It's a campus town so you get to experience student life first hand. Multiple events and competitions take place all year round.

Quite safe campus town to explore.

Tips: Location is remote but a very lovely town with a lot of students and a friendly environment. In my opinion it's better than the city. Part time is easy and food options are also available. The university is very big with a lot of events happening so you always have something to enjoy. Campus town is quite safe, people can roam around at midnight without fear plus the bus services are good.

Likes (Safety): Crimes do happen but it's rare. MTD Connect is a good feature that operates in the campus town which allows you to go from one place to another in the campus town and it's free of cost.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The US in general is a difficult place for permanent settlement so it does not make sense to give any US university above 3 stars. The US is a bad choice for permanent settlement.

The university provides you with all the required tools; you just need to know how to build it.

Tips: Students must know that the university provides all the necessary facilities for them to succeed but it is up to them to do the work. The opportunities are plenty; you just need to be active enough. The goal here is to network with as many industry professionals and alumni as possible to get a head start and make a career for yourself.

Likes (Safety): There are facilities like safe rides, campus security and being a college town full of students, the safety is pretty high standard. I have personally never experienced any security so far in the 2 years I have stayed on campus. It has all the safety precautions and safeguards in place.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement is way different from attending college. It is dependent on a lot of factors like intention, job aspects, etc. The university provides a good opportunity to learn and work in a good company but a permanent settlement comes way in the future and is not dependent on college but rather the job you pursue.

Opportunities, impact and academics.

Tips: UIUC offers strong, rigorous programs, especially in Data and Analytics. The coursework is hands-on and project based, so prior exposure to tools like Python, SQL or visualization helps. It is easy to get part-time jobs on campus. Also, campus life is pretty amazing.

Likes (Indian Food): Signature Grill offers very nice South Indian Food. Average price for a single person is 12 dollars. We have Bombay Market serving items starting from 3.99, which is very cheap for students. It offers various types of Indian cuisines making it the most popular spot for Indian students.

Master of Education in Educational Administration and Leadership - Batch of 2026

4.3

A big university in a small town with modern facilities.

Tips: The university is truly awesome, you don't have to worry about that. If you are looking for a calm but fun town to spend your 5 years of the Ph.D, then you are looking at the right place. It's very fresh in here. If you are expecting US city life, then you probably need to go to Chicago, which is around 3 hours away from here. There are many on-campus jobs available and even plenty of off-campus jobs as well. If you are a graduate student, it's even better because you can work with professors on their research projects. The hourly pay is also not bad as the expenses in this town are very low. Overall, I am very satisfied with the environment, people, university culture, eating out options, etc.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In general, there are fewer immigration options in the US. Provided the current scenario, the opportunities are getting even fewer. If I get a chance to permanently immigrate to the US, I would definitely not think twice about it. But the chances are better if you are from a STEM field or Academia.
