MA in Political Science - Batch of 2027

3.9

Student life in Chicago.

Tips: There was a slight cultural shock in terms of body language, pace of life and even how classes are conducted here. There is a lot more student autonomy here than I am used to, but the class registration and academic advising are a bit chaotic and rent is expensive as well. You'll have better luck networking outside of campus as compared to the student centres for placements. Good country to live in and work in.

Lots to do and explore here.

Tips: The finance and business programs here are well thought out and planned in a way that gives you an understanding of the core of business management. Classes are very practically conducted and professors help bring in multiple perspectives to better your understanding. Admin work can be slow and I've even seen delays in the visa process, so be aware. I've had a good learning experience here.

My university life in Chicago is decent.

Tips: The student experience here is very subjective and tends to vary based on involvement and perspective. You are expected to have an independent mind and tackle coursework problems your own way, especially if you're in a creative major. The best part about the university is its location in downtown Chicago which helps a lot with connectivity and giving a city feel. Be wary of theft and pickpockets.

Awesome place and great opportunity.

Tips: It's good about being in middle of the city. You should be outgoing to network and meet more and more people. And beware of the weather. It changes quite quickly and goes really coud. Easy to score a great Goa but be up to date with assignments and stuff.

MS in Business Analytics/MS in Management Information Systems - Batch of 2025

3.1

The college is good but the quality has deteriorated over time.

Tips: The University of Illinois at Chicago is good. The faculty works hard to give students the best education possible, even though fee waivers have been removed and the dean of CBA has changed, which has affected funding a lot. On-campus positions are good, and every student gets one in the end. The campus atmosphere is excellent. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation system here is excellent. There is no place you can't reach with the public transport. With both metro and buses, things only get easier. The only downside is that safety is a concern. There are too many homeless people and gun violence is very high, so you have to be on your toes at all times.

Dislikes (Internships): The market is bad right now, and students are having a hard time getting internships. Even experienced students are finding it difficult to land one. The college doesn't provide much support to help students get internships, but the market has improved recently and is looking positive at the moment.
