Highlights

Anthropology is the study of human cultural and biological diversity across time and space. The traditional subfields are Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology.
Students trained in anthropology have the analytical and methodological tools to apply their knowledge of human diversity to real world problems. For example, anthropologists working in public health help to facilitate communication between medical providers and patients, especially where patients hold non-Western perspectives on medicine and healing.

It’s a fun filled and academically driven college.

Tips: The students should know that there are a lot of facilities available on campus for students to access. Ranging from academic to non-academic and extracurricular, so to be involved in any of them the students should know that they can reach out to the faculty as well.

Moving here has been smooth

Tips: The transition from India to moving here has been good. I experienced no cultural shift as there are many Indians here as well. The staff provides no special facilities as such for Indian students but there are orientations. One should know where to stay and what areas to avoid in Chicago. What courses to go for is an important decision. Also, an internship requires extra fees. College students should know about the UIC global situation. No prior courses are required to settle into this course.

The college is good but the quality has deteriorated over time.

Tips: The University of Illinois at Chicago is good. The faculty works hard to give students the best education possible, even though fee waivers have been removed and the dean of CBA has changed, which has affected funding a lot. On-campus positions are good, and every student gets one in the end. The campus atmosphere is excellent. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation system here is excellent. There is no place you can't reach with the public transport. With both metro and buses, things only get easier. The only downside is that safety is a concern. There are too many homeless people and gun violence is very high, so you have to be on your toes at all times.

Dislikes (Internships): The market is bad right now, and students are having a hard time getting internships. Even experienced students are finding it difficult to land one. The college doesn't provide much support to help students get internships, but the market has improved recently and is looking positive at the moment.

University is amazing, but don’t be a Global Student.

Tips: Never apply through Shiksa or any other agency and become a Global Student. I joined UIC via SHIKSHA and I am a research assist currently with 100% tuition waiver, but that was taken away from me only because I am a global student, who did not pay application fees.

Best campus I have ever seen in my life.

Tips: Students should have good ettiquetes and better english speaking and understanding. Students should have better skills to enjoy in good way. Students should have quality to attract fellow students to make good friends and explore things in the campus.

Likes (Internships): We get so many internships before the final exams. We get internships on the basis of practicals and skills that we have. We get paid internships also to manage expenses of daily routine. We also get apprrciation certificate from the companies to make better CV.

Dislikes (Student Life): Students face more stress and do not enjoy much. Students face stress of exams, internals, practicals, and more over curricular activities. They are bounded by these things ispite of enjoying college life and exploring new things, people and places.
