University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign | UIUC | 4K Campus Drone Tour

[@hectorantoniomoralesrodrig5590]

I had the opportunity to study one year at U of I back in 2010 on a grant (I am Guatemalan). It was by far the best year of my life. I still treasure all the moments and memories I made. Sadly I have lost track of almost everyone I met there, most of them don't even live in America anymore, but damn, watching this video just touches my heart, I just wish I could back to walk those streets, hang out at those restaurants, play soccer on those fields and overall just fooling around campus. There is not a day I don't miss my life in Urbana-Champaign. Thanks for the video, sir, you have made this old, boring Guatemalan get goosebumps by thinking about the good days.

I'm glad the video brought the good memories back to you! By the way, what did you study there?

[@ammarlahori]

My son just got his acceptance today in UIUC's engineering so I came here to watch this video. What a great video btw and what a great school ! He made the right choice

[@CampusMania]

Congrats to you and your son! Great university with one of the best engineering schools in the world.

[@AjiDn1]

You should say what a "great nation" also. Only a great nation can produce so many great schools!

[@KrystynaSzul-mm6dm]

Wonderful video indeed. Thank you! My son will be starting there in the Electrical Engineering program this August as well. I am so excited for him and proud. He'll be coming from Seattle.

[@rickshearer]

Excellent drone movement, angles and transitions. The university has a graceful continuity of archetecture and landscape! outstanding design on the whole. I've always loved the look of red brick buildings within a spatial surrounding!

[@CampusMania]

Thank you Rick! 🙏 I always appreciate your feedback.

[@davidrahnis7341]

Great video! I loved my time there. Whenever I got stressed out, I would go for a run out into the endless cornfields!

[@CampusMania]

Glad you liked the video. What did you study there? And how long ago?

[@davidrahnis7341]

​@@CampusMania I went to law school at Illinois. Graduated back in '98. It was cool. I sometimes wish I went there for undergrad too. It's an awesome school. A lot of the departments are as good as any Ivy League - for a lot less money!

[@CampusMania]

@@davidrahnis7341 That's great. Does the campus look different now after almost 25 years?

[@davidrahnis7341]

@@CampusMania The academic buildings are mostly the same. The big difference is all of the tall apartment buildings in campustown. None of those were there! There was only one "high rise" in the whole town back then.

[@CampusMania]

@@davidrahnis7341 That's great. This means the city is growing.

[@CampusMania]

@@al-waleedal-salti161 Would you recommend Illinois to prospective students?

[@al-waleedal-salti161]

@@CampusMania ​ It depends on their preferences, as with every other university. The university is situated in a college town, so someone who prefers to live nearby a city might find the campus dull. Personally, I like tranquil places, which is one reason I applied. Another consideration is the major. The curriculum of the engineering and CS-related majors seems to be great. I have a friend studying CS at another university, and unfortunately, some of the required courses are a bit outdated, and the grading system is rather strange. That is, many CS courses are graded heavily on exams. So far, I have taken CS124 and CS128, and both of them emphasize programming through machine projects and auto-graded programming challenges. I like this system better, as it is more fun and better prepares us for work. I heard that the engineering courses are also well-designed. Ultimately, I think the best way a student would decide if the university if a good fit for them is by visiting the campus, talking to faculty, and checking the available opportunities and whether it aligns with their interests.

Wow….that is an impressive campus. And it’s huge. I’ve heard some people describe Illinois as a small University in the B10. Not from what I just saw. Another excellent video 👍

[@CampusMania]

@@donnie2832 How can they say it's small! It's HUGE!

[@donnie2832]

[@brianhawkins]

@@CampusMania Most of my professors were disinterested in helping undergrads, some of them were openly hostile. I probably would have done better at a smaller school where people cared.
