Hi guys! I want to apply for Fall 2019 with Nursing as my major at UIC. However, I'm still really unsure of which site to choose as my first priority.. I applied before at the Urbana branch and got accepted but I lacked three subjects for my evaluation of credits so I had to take some more subjects and now that I have more time, I just want to make sure I get to the best site. If I choose Chicago, will I be able to experience more activities related to my Major than Urbana? I also came to learn that the tuition is still the same regardless of which site you're in? What do you guys think? Thank you!!!

Hi! I am a student on the Urbana campus. Feel free to message me on here. I can't really speak for Chicago or Springfield because I don't go to either of those schools. I would recommend visiting Champaign before applying or committing here.

I've had a great experience here in Champaign. There are 60 students so we have small class sizes and the professors know us very well. I'm very close with my cohort and clinical group. Champaign is definitely a classic college town... lots of bars, sports, etc. It's a lot of fun!

In Chicago, the nursing school is much larger and there's a lot more nursing activities such as speakers and nursing organizations to be part of. But Champaign is known a world class research university and there's a lot of activities that might not be directly related to nursing but lots of leadership opportunities.

Also, if you to go school in Urbana you pay tuition to UIC but fees to U of I.

Let me know if you have more questions!
