I'm gonna be a freshmen at UIC this fall, and this video is very helpful!
I’m glad my video helped you. Welcome to UIC and if you see me on campus feel free to say hello!
Uic very accesible because of the loop train system. Its very reliable and in time. Did not have any problems commuting back then
Glad to hear! Thanks for sharing.
This was helpful and informative to me as I will be attending UIC this fall. Just like you, I’ll be commuting as well, except I’m an hour and 45min away by metra. Do you have any helpful tips/advice for incoming UIC commuter students? Thank you for uploading this video!
I’m glad it was helpful!
I have some tips that I hope will be helpful:
1) Take advantage of the Commuter Student Resource Center. This is a great communal area populated with other commuters that understand what it’s like being a commuter student. Ergo, it’s a great place to network, study, or hangout in.
2) Join a club! Find a club that aligns with your major or one that peaks your interest. Joining a club will allow you to meet others who have the same or similar interests and provide great networking and career opportunities.
(Joining a club helped me get closer to that “college experience” despite being a commuter.)
3) Give yourself plenty of time and grace to get to school. As they say, the way you start a day may determine how you feel about the rest of it. Make sure to plan accordingly and give yourself extra time to get to school. It’s always better to be early than late and you can make sure you start your day off well instead of rushed and in a panic.
Hope those tips are helpful. Congratulations on your enrollment at UIC and I wish you the best of luck!
I’m supposed to go there in the fall of 2024 I don’t know yet.I want to start at a local community college.
I started at a local community college before transferring to UIC! Good luck in either path you take.

I have a question please my son has scollership you think is better to start there or do 2 years of oakton college then go to Uic
Usually, community colleges make students take more credits than needed before transferring to an institution like UIC.
So, if your son has a scholarship to UIC, then, in my opinion, he should go to UIC since it will save him time!
This is my opinion, based solely on my college experience.
In the end, you and your son should make a decision that best suits both your personal situation and needs.
I hope that helps!
@@MrPariso thanks 🙏
how long was your commute? Just bus right? 10~20 minutes?
@@Jason-pb2vo I commuted from the Lake View neighborhood which was 30-45 min depending on traffic.
