“A worthwhile experience”

Overall
Being a top research university, the most valuable experience was to get involved in some research projects. They have hired excellent and renowned professionals for both research and professors. The strongest point apart from the research and resource opportunities it offers is the campus. It is a campus that offers restaurants with lake views and well-preserved buildings giving it an image of a vibrant university campus.

Go to Chicago. Only 3 hrs away by bus. Get some cheap flights out of the city. Attend the university football, basketball and icehockey games.
