| Full-time undergraduate program |
U of I seems huge when you are a student there. The university however
goes to great lengths to set up activities where students meet other
students. Such programs are administered through dorms, the fraternity /
sorority system, social clubs, within colleges, etc. A social fair at
the beginning of each semester displays available activities and
organizations students can get involved in.
Freshman should stay in the dorms their first year in order to meet as
many people as possible. Also, incoming Freshman should get involved in
clubs and organizations right from the start. Freshman year is the best
time to pledge fraternities and sororities, often times the second
semester seems right. After freshman year, most students live in
apartments or fraternity / sorority houses. Finding an apartment on
campus is not too difficult nor expensive and is a good alternative to
the dorms for students established socially.
