UIC housing sucks donkey balls. I cant wait for my year contract to be finished and move away from east campus.

Its much nicer and cheaper if you just get a apartment close to campus, and you get freedom

Hey guys so I am transfer to UIC for this coming fall semester (2012)as a kinesiology major and I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about UIC housing. I personal would prefer to rent a place close to UIC but my parents are really pushing for me to live on campus...any constructive insight would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Based on the stuff I've heard I'm kinda glad I live close enough to Chicago that I don't have to stay in the dorms :P

Study areas all over campus! Everything need, nice place to study, quiet, coffee, printers, Wi-Fi, etc. Studies always first (certain majors very rigorous) but should enjoy self too, only young once you know. Everyone too busy with jobs/studying, so not much time. Most schools downtown when get time off really fun (work hard/play hard). UIC's tough especially the competitive majors. But environment for making yourself, life long character building/learning experience

People throwing parties in the dorms is what motivated me to never live in the dorms again. People need a quiet learning environment in order to study. As a person who came into the UIC dorms at age 23 for the first time, I seriously wanted to murder a lot of the stupid kids that were there. There are a lot of naive, ignorant, stuck-up people in the dorms.

UIC's an amazing school and once in lifetime experience since it's downtown (something for everyone! Lots of internships too). But yes honestly it's true living at UIC cheaper/more fun if rent a place with group of friends off campus after first year. Convenient for inviting study groups, and of course to throw parties haha. Chicago's such a great city, many concerts/clubs (and can also make friends at many other great universities! UIC/DePaul/Loyola always going to each other's parties haha)
