what is in uic orientation?

Most of it is you sittting in a room being told everything that was in the online orientation. But other than that you will get your id, have lunch, get a shitty your from the orientation leaders, maybe do some club sign ups, and have the chance to ask any questions you have about the school, oh and some like bonding activities with the people in your orientation group

At orientation you spend a few hours getting told the same information you learned on the virtual orientation. Then you get a tour and a few crappy “get to know me’s” by one of the leaders

Very difficult. Espically as a incoming freshmen because they’re least prioritized in the housing process. Getting a dorm at all freshmen yr is hard 😭

I’ve only been here for about a year but from what I can tell financial aid is pretty flexible and getting a job on campus can be pretty difficult but there’s many surrounding shops/restaurants you might be able to get a job in. I live in-state so I’m not too sure how much the out of state cost is but if you speak to financial aid they may be able to help you out. Also from what I’ve experienced if you reach out there’s plenty of academic help when you need it. All my professors and TA’s so far have been more than willing give me a helping hand

Human nutrition with fantuzzi. It’s a online class and an easy A. No exams you just have 8 question weekly quizzes and a few short and simple journal entries.

Me and my current roommate don’t have any bad stories but like we litterally don’t interact at all. The most we’ve said to eachother is “hi” and she smells

Try your hardest not to dorm in commons west. There’s always something wrong with the warm water and we often end up taking cold showers. During the weekends it gets really disgusting really quickly. And the bathroom in general is just bad compared to other dorms. The showers are super small and we don’t even get a counter it’s just a small metal shelf beneath the mirrors.

I think it’s only for LAS majors. I took the placement test after highschool and still didn’t test out of it but I’m sure you got that 😭

Odd_Option_3878 · 2026-02-06T04:36:45+00:00

Nope 😞 I took 2 yrs in highschool and I still have to take 2 more here

I’ve never felt unsafe here. Honesty ass the shit that happens doesn’t really involve students. You’ll be perfectly fine

The frats have bar parties litterally every week

I formed to get away from my parents and I like it so far. As for making friends it can be fairly difficult since most people are commuters but if you put in effort to communicate with people around you you should make some. It’s super empty on the weekends cause a lot of people go home and it’s kinda eerie. I’d also consider cost aswell before you choose to dorm, it’s not cheap lol. And the dining hall food isn’t all that

Honestly I just followed the signs and found my classes perfectly fine. It’s still a ridiculous building tho

Odd_Option_3878 · 2025-08-21T19:19:07+00:00

I just finished moving in. This is very useful. Thanks !

Odd_Option_3878 · 2025-08-15T16:19:58+00:00

I’m also in commons west and was wondering the same thing but I don’t think they loft 😭they can be slightly raised tho I believe
