What are your general comments?

"i hadn't thought much of UIC before my visit. i applied because it was my state school and i hoped to get in _somewhere_. once i visited though, i was actually quite impressed! i could totally see myself attending this school. it's affordable, the people are down to earth, it's pass/fail grading, and holds a lot of opportunities. being in chicago is also pretty cool."
