CDC guidelines enforced. Due to the global CORONAVIRUS outbreak pandemic. This is a educational institution for future students to be licensed as General Dentist. Plenty of parking lot E1 for UIC COD patients. Takes insurance but ASK quality questions-first. Cash credit or debit. Very organized from start to finish.

Dr. Montes-Rivera and Dr. Biggers were both great. Dr. Montes-Rivera was thorough in her examination and hearing out my problems and getting me the help I needed. Dr. Biggers was great at suggestions for mitigation and investigating underlying causes.A great team to have looking after my health!

Educators are often critical when encountering experiences within our own fields of study. I am incredibly impressed with the professionalism and kindness from #UIC staff. Having an incoming freshman who is new to the student process at the collegiate level can be confusing for new freshman. EVERYONE has greeted my student with enthusiasm and kindness to help make the transition smooth. So far, UIC has definitely surpassed my college undergrad and graduate experiences elsewhere. Feeling a bit more at ease as a UIC parent.My daughter Skyped with admissions prior to committing to UIC; the demeanor and attentiveness from the lady we met (I wish I remembered her name) made our decision to commit. It gave us a good indication of how helpful staff would be when there are concerns, obstacles, or guidance needed from staff.Today we were helped by Annabel and melody in the bursars office; they were wonderful.

UICs Office of International Services is not helpful. We have been trying to get in touch with them to speak about Stem OPT. We have a few questions to ask them. They refuse to speak on a phone for a few minutes. Right now they are only responding by email which has a 7 day turnaround time. This is causing major delays and mass confusion which could be resolved by speaking on a phone for a few minutes. I know they are hard at work but obtaining a Stem OPT extension is already a stressful time... UICs Office of International Services is not helping our stress level a this time.

Honestly, the best school you can hope for. The professors were great. Very nice campus, lots of student organizations. My friends and I had a lot of good times in the circle and the quad. I made many international friends, saw the great city of Chicago,... UIC is a lifestyle not just a university. The professors are great and the campus and the facilities are really nice. You will have a great education here, make many friends and engage in many activities or as little as you want. One of my favorite events is Taste of UIC. I looked forward to it every year. and dont forget your U-Pass that allows you to ride any bus or metro train (they call it the EL in Chicago which is short for elevated train). You will have fun getting all over the city with that. Oh, and get a bike for the summer. It is huge in Chicago. Look forward to critical mass bike ride every Friday afternoon.

The years I attended The University of Illinois Chicago, the academic system was on “quarterly system,” which made it harder and difficult for a lot of students. It was a horrible system and school administrators cared less about our sufferings to catch up. I hope the school is doing somewhat okay.

This place was such a mistake. I remember being so excited, back in my hometown this school is talked up quite a bit. Good students regret this place, whether or not you have a bad experience might be fully based on luck and timing. Students who dont care will be curved to receive the same grade. If your phd here no one will respond. Teachers not only dont care about teaching, there are few who care about you, and if you care more than other students, they wont like you so much because you hurt the curve of other students who, again, dont care or try. That is the dynamic of this school. They will try to hold you back when you are doing well and curve those who are doing poorly to get the same grade. If you report any of this few peoope will be on your side. There are some great professors here, they will shoot for the stars with you, probably one in each department, but they cant help you out of a rut with others. The undergraduate acceptance rate his higher than peolpe talk about, do not go here if you care. Shoot higher, value yourself. Yes bad professors are every place but friends at other universities do not run into this bias this frequently, and wouldnt you rather get a bad grade at a great school whether its the one professor or because they challenge you, rather than a bad grade at a school where its a mix bag and no one likes you if you work hard? The undergraduates have it worse than the grad students so I hope you choose yourself.

Transferring at the end of the semester due to a variety of reasons. Firstly the buildings are falling apart. Everything is concrete! It feels almost like a prison walking through campus During the early fall semester there was a heatwave needless to say air conditioning was a hit or miss. I can recall being drenched in sweat sitting through an hour class with no air circulation. The library has outdated computers. Ive had them crash on me several times while working on projects. the help desk is ran by students who have no idea how to work let alone fix computers.Parking. The parking lots sit half empty because the cost per semester is ridiculously expensive. They actually rent out parking space to neighboring establishments because they are so underused. Good luck with street parking unless you dont mind parking by the public housing which is a 20 minute walk from campus. Chicago police will ticket for anything and everything.Administration. Im a veteran so my financial aid ( G.I. Bill) went through them. They forgot to send my file off so later in the semester my account was put on financial hold. I called and he told me that it just takes time for the government to sort through the claims. I receive an email later that day stating my file had been received. Turns out he forgot to send it until I called him to do it 2 months after the semester began! The admissions office took 2 months to post my transcripts I had gotten from other schools because they forgot to post them.Teachers. the teachers are the only good thing about this school. Ive met some incredible teachers here that genuinely care about their students. Courses are challenging but not over-bearing and I loved coming to class everyday. The diversity is amazing but I dont really see integration or inclusion the campus is more or less a salad bowl rather than a melting pot. it seems like the state budget for education is going all to UIUC.P.S. if you are black be prepared to be stared at walking through the neighborhood especially by the older residents.

The campus is ugly, but it has made great strides in the past couple of years and looks much better now. Also the school has the most difficult teachers. But this place has helped me find friends and is giving me a great education and preparing me for the future. The levels of stress are worth it. UIC has been great to me.

Review №89

If I could give half a star, I would. Please listen to me when I say DO NOT GO HERE. You will regret it. I think its a decent school for grad students or for students who want the commute but overall it stinks at giving a college experience. The dorms (the closest thing to living a college life at uic) are extremely expensive. Also, I had to leave due to be sick with mono and strep twice first semester. I had a doctors note and everything but they would only give me 25% back out of thousands and thousands of dollars. The teachers also could care less about the students and theyre only there as a side job to their research. Theres also no so called diversity since there is a divide between racial groups which reflects on how most peoples friend groups are. People here are rude! Not trying to racial profile or anything but because of this racial divide and hugely due to the fact that most people commute, allows for no open environment to meet people (which college is supposed to have). Also, the cafeteria food will give you diarrhea even though they charge you $10 per meal. Most of the staff is rude and ALWAYS have an attitude. Theyll even fight with each other loudly in front of the whole cafeteria (not very professional if you ask me). The neighborhood also isnt too safe. I hate UIC (like 90% of students) with a burning passion. I also plan on transferring next year like six of my other friends (coincidence, I think not). Overall, please (undergrads especially) dont waste your time here. You will regret it.

Review №92

UIC is a University with 5 star professors and a -4 stars administration. Your first question when looking up the university should be the low graduation rate of 58% (2014) or the fact that students transfer OUT at a rate of almost 41% and this is due to the administration literally frustrating students into leaving with their bureaucracy and overall unwillingness to help students through the maze of logistics that they created (subsequently understanding it about as little as the students do).The buildings are all extremely old and are in the brutalist architectural style, which if you know what that is then you know the buildings are all modeled to look like prisons. 100% concrete with windows two inches wide. No, Im not kidding. The buildings have been notoriously known to be depressing and confusing to navigate. Just adding to the overall atmosphere of hopelessness.The administration could not be worse. Theyre slow, unkind, unwilling, seemingly uncaring for students which is their entire job. Its as if theyre all not being paid. When their students are literally paying to be there. Which is a disgusting attitude to cary both towards students and just in general as a professional.Their counselors are on a revolving door as they can never seem to hire any worth their salt and the administration doesnt care because they use them for themselves as scapegoats. If you see yourself having to deal with a dean or advisor at any point, just do the transfer papers instead. Theyre easier to get done than whatever it is youre going to them for.The professors are the polar opposite. They provide an above average education and are very accommodating. Helping students, with their very limited powers, wherever they can as they understand this sentiment about the administration and immediately empathize with the students when approached.Understand that this university provides a good education, but you better hope that the attending student doesnt ever have to deal with the administration as they will ultimately come away defeated, discouraged, and seeking alternate options (see graduation rate).

For the last 5 years Ive never as any problems with UIC. Now that my son is back in school, the children and adolescent center is giving me major problems for a simple solution. The school nurse requested a letter stating that my son has an upcoming appointment in regards to his upcoming physical next week. As advanced as the technoloogy they are using at UIC is, they cant e mail the school nurse with an appointment reminder or anything. Only thing they can do is mail. Needless to say, my son is missing his first week of kindergarten because of their policies. I dont understand how or why they cant fax or e mail a letter stating that my son has an upcoming appointment. I am VERY disappointed with this hospital now and will be changing doctors because of this issue.

A year ago my husband suffered a brain bleed after undergoing a routine nuclear stress test at Hines VA. They did not have a bed for him at their brain trauma unit at Loyola University. (Loyola is attached to Hines). He was sent to the Univeristy of Illinois At Chicago to the NISICU, where he received excellent care. I and my family could not be more pleased with the care he was given there. We were also treated with compassion by the hospital staff as well. I can say that this hospital has the best brain trauma unit in the state.Today my husband is up and walking with no paralysis and no speech problems. Im certain that the care he received at UIC is one of the factors he is doing so well.I cant thank the nursing staff or the doctors enough. They were great.

Review №99

I had negative experiences and I am glad I got out . Many people (MEs) I had talked to, said the same thing that they couldn’t wait to get out of UIC.Buildings in the campus (east) from 2012-2016: old and lack of maintenance. They were waiting for the state fund to fix that UH, so they built a fence around it to prevent falling rocks from the building. UH was built five decades ago and it has already falling apart now (not sure if it is fixed by now).College life from 2012-2016: it is not the traditional college life since it is a commuting school, ranked 3rd place national-wide for school with the most commuting population. It is comparable to a community college, where everyone left the campus around 5 p.m. each day and it was completely dead during the weekend. Even if you live in the dorms, you don’t get a life. The campus is diversity yet it is also “segregated” by groups.Dormitory (east side) from 2012-2015: I had been to pretty much all the dorms (east, south, and west) and I had lived in CMS,CMN,CMW, and CTY altogether for 3 years. Whenever it had a heavy rainfall, there was flooding coming down the roof (my CTY dorm in the 1st floor near by the stair had flooded a few times). You have to make sure to record any damages there; sometimes you have to get the missing furniture. Mostly in CMW, people partied in the dorms (loud music and drinking), drunk in the bathrooms, smoking and doing drugs, committing harmful pranks (pooping in the shower, clogged the toilets…etc.) and we all got fined $0.5 one time for someone pooping in the shower. It took them a week to clean up the feces which they could just pick it up and threw it away. I hardly got any sleep there. I switch my dorms 8 times because of my roommates (completely strangers) and the living conditions, and there was a limit (2-3 times per semester). Each time I had to go to the west campus and waited 1 week to switch the room. Moreover, the RAs and RMs were completely useless, they didn’t try to socialize people or be any useful.Café (east side) 2012-2015: It used to be mandated if you dormed there. The food was greasy, especially the burgers and fries were over-cooked in dirty oil (as if they were leftovers). There were fewer choices during the weekend.Clubs 2012-2016: I didn’t know what they were doing when I was there. I joined the engineering honors club, Tau Beta Pi, no projects except a few meetings and activities (wasted of $100). ASME just started to do some meaningful projects before I left. Robotic club, O.K. they used old technologies to beat UIUC, not something very proud of. The commitments of the engineering clubs in UIUC are just completely opposite of UIC.Mechanical engineering 2012-2016: the program was mediocre, nothing to expect. The courses were not that tough, but cheating was a problem. If you have some short of connection (i.e. joining an engineering club), you will know that people are sharing the old exams, projects….etc. One guy in my CME 201 class, even bough a solution manual and spread to the class. I was the last one to get it when the TA felt sympathy to me and he gave it to me! Even the top students I knew were committing cheating. Some were sitting in groups or way behind to accommodate cheating during exams. Some professors changed the exams and some didn’t even bother with it, they only changed the numbers not the content. My senior design project was completely lacked of communication, the team itself since everyone was busy on their stuff.Engineering Career center 2012-2016: no help from there unless you know them well. Resume checking? Basically proof reading. One time I asked them how to get internships, they responded to me that I need to learn more English.After UIC 2017: it was annoying. They kept calling and sending letters to me for donation. Especially in May, I had received more than 3 calls. When I finally picked up the phone, the guy on the phone insisted me to donate: how about at least $100 and how about I sent you in the letter….etc. That shouldn’t be the way they treat their alumni.
