UIUC: A good school for other programs besides Engineering, Business, and Comp Sci???

<p>doh! zirk - SORRY!</p>

<p>It seems that UIUC does lots of things well and that there is plenty of opportunity to whet your intellectual whistle.</p>

<p>I have heard good things about the english program. I know someone who could have gone to a good college on the east coast who studied english at UIUC. </p>

<p>the following ranking, for grad, shows uiuc in top 20 in english and history to name a couple.</p>

<p>I also saw in some ranking that it was good in physics. Hey tom hanks’ brother is a prof in the entomolgy dept. I know this is probably not your bag, but I also heard that its agriculture and vet schools are stellar. </p>

<p>so there’s psych, english, physics, vet, ag, in addition to engineering and biz.</p>

<p>Even studying abroad - I recall seeing a stat that said UIUC was among the top schools for facilitating studying abroad. Anecdotally (again) , I know a complete diehard illini girl who went to france and it really changed her life.</p>

<p>it also has a nice balanced 47/53 female male ratio- which is nice :)</p>
