“The courses provided by UIUC were not only comprehensive, but also taught by amazing professors. Their knowledge and accessibility resulted in a meaningful educational experience. Furthermore, the professors challenge students to express their points of view and thereby encouraging critical thinking and helping students to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives and backgrounds. I also enjoyed interacting with students from diverse backgrounds. Meeting students from all over the world has broadened my perspective and made me appreciate diversity even more. My time spent in Champaign has had a lasting impact on both my personal and academic growth, creating memories and knowledge that I will cherish forever.”
