How is UIUC's business program in terms of recruiting?

agreed with the above. but just to not sound as harsh… know that the big 4 LOVE uiuc. i dont say that lightly. they recruit here so hard. they hire tons of our grads, mostly to work in chicago, sometimes st louis if you want. our accy program is the best in the state and possibly the midwest, and they know it. tons of on campus recruiting events sponsored by them all the time. i am a freshman and i am on a first name basis with the head recruiter from E&Y, and I have met the head recruiters from the other three multiple times. most even semi-successful upperclassmen in accy that i know are very well connected.

this also causes heavy recruitment from midsize firms like grant thornton and crowe horwath. you’ll see lots of small firms at career fair as well.
