| - As an electrical engineering graduate, I've been in full agreement with the reviews; our program, and engineering college as a whole is stellar. The professors are amazing, student body motivated, and the programs are very well funded.
But of course, nothing's perfect, and I have a few qualms with the engineering programs (elitist to an annoying degree), the overall university administration (some corruption, some nepotism, too much red tape!), parts of the student body (way too segregated, by class, race, interest group), but as a whole, it was a very fulfilling experience, and I'm glad for what it taught me. Perhaps more importantly, it did prepare me for the world that came after.
It's a great school; there might not be too much to do around town, but I've found that it brings people closer together, and I've never complained about that. I miss U of I, and the people I loved a great deal, and will continue to rep it's name out in Seattle!
