What are your general comments?

"UIC-COM really impressed me on the interview day. Not only were the facilities better than I had previously thought, the people were much more friendly and caring than I had preconceived from hearing stories about an apathetic administration. The buildings may have some dreary hallways here and there, but there are some comfort zones to be found. Overall, I got a real good gut feeling from the school, something that has heavily influenced my decisions in the past and made me happy so far." Report Response
