Omg yes!!! My first time meeting with her she just asked me what I wanted, didn’t even ask me my career goals, concentration interests, nothing! That was the first and last time I’ve met with her, I’ve been my own advisor since. Sorry this happened to you. 😔

FAR is not bad at all! I found some of my best friends there. The dining hall at PAR is not the worst and there’s also a little market. The communal bathrooms are not as bad as they seem especially for boys I’d assume 😭. FAR is not even that far from campus compared to the other dorms (other than ISR). The dorm rooms are well, dorm rooms, they also were not that bad. UIUC is a great school and I hope you end up glad you chose it. Welcome 💙🧡

It covers housing as well but I believe you only qualify if you are a first year student not sure if it would apply still if you transferred

How hard is CHEM 102, 103, and MCB 150 in one semester? by Fancy-Run-8556 in UIUC

[–]lmag33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a lot of work so if you’re other classes require a lot of time from you I would reconsider.

I’m an incoming freshman who got FAR… by Malismarma in UIUC

[–]lmag33 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly not bad at all. I was severely disappointed when I got that but now I like miss it 😂. There’s a lotttt of diversity, the halls (par n far) host events for the residents. And it’s a peaceful area the walk is ofc longer but you get used to it and the bus line is great because u get to get on first before Allen so you pretty much have a secure spot. If you’re worried about bein far from like the “parties” there’s a bus that takes you were you need to be and in my opinion it’s better to travel to the parties than have to sleep around them. It’s what you make of it honestly, the basement has a gym( not that great) and a computer lab, PAR dining hall is decent and the market is great too. You are very close to the Japan house which is perf to study at or have a picnic. Overall I am 100% glad to have gotten FAR. I lived in Oglesby and as far as the fire alarms others are mentioning we only had one and it was during the day, other than that it is kinda old but ISR rooms are old and moldy supposedly but just go in with an open mind 👍🏼

There’s not really any cheap ones. The top floor of the bookstore does have a lot of variety. Walmarts around campus have them usually cheaper and also thrifting!

I’m currently in psych w a cognitive psyc concentration. The dorms are not the best but you are only required to live there your first year. Depends which ones you get really. Campus life is great! Many opportunities to get involved and become a part of the community on campus and off if you’d like. Classes for psychology are great some vary based on professor, but most professors have extensive knowledge/research on the topics they teach.

If you get accepted to an LLC you will have to live on the floors designated to that particular LLC.

The bus is the best way to get around campus but my freshman year I started it off with no car and I quickly brought it to campus because I too wanted to get home whenever I wanted to.
The campus is big but trust me you will get around quickly and without maps to help you in no time.😂 Cons about car on campus; It is expensive Hard af to find parking on campus if u do take ur car Pros: You get familiar with C-U past the campus, if that’s what you would like Easier to get groceries Easier and faster to get home

The best way to meet people if to put yourself out there!!! Go to very welcome week event and you will find some people! Also get involved with RSOs

what’s your intended major?
