For in-state, compared to other states in-state tuition, it's expensive, but for the awesome education you're getting it's worth it. For out of state, I don't know if it's that great of a deal unless you're doing engineering. I definitely wouldn't go to U of I out of state for like a education or HDFS degree, there's just nothing that sets it apart to pay that much. The nice thing is that it's a flat rate tuition so you can take 14 or 18 hours and you're bill will be the same. Also for in-state students your tuition is locked for 4 years so it won't go up every year like a private school.

UIUC is an expensive school, but I think overall it's worth it. You get a very typical college experience, but also get the chance to meet some of the most interesting people that you ever will right on campus. Take advantage of every opportunity given to you & you'll feel like you're getting your money's worth.

Going to the University of Illinois you'll be have a lot more opportunities after school, whether that be continuing your education further or seeking employment. You really get what you pay for.

Earning my degree here will be well worth it, connections will be available. Facilities are nice as well.

So far it has been a satisfactory experience it is just feels like they could do more, research wise. It is very expensive too. Very very expensive and financial aid isn't to wonderful for students from middle class families like me.
