<p>I was curious what the M.S. Structural Engineering program is like at UIUC? The student/faculty ratio, the quality of professors and the interaction with them, and even the Illinois area itself. I've never been to Illinois, so I'm not sure what to expect either. Basically I'm trying to see if aside from the high ranking, if anybody can testify that it's genuinely a really beneficial program. (and actually worth moving out there rather than staying at UCLA)</p>
<p>I'm from California and go to UCLA currently, and I'm waiting to hear back from Berkeley still.</p>
<p>If you've had any experience or something that might be helpful, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.</p>
