<p>thanks, bonehead. Sounds like UIUC was berry berry good to you. </p>
<p>Were you a member of a frat? I wondered how it is if someone did not join a frat. Would they be , or feel , marginalized? Or are there plenty of people like them at UIUC? </p>
<p>If you are extra studios, will you feel at home at UIUC?</p>
<p>Also, were a superstar with super stats coming in? I am trying to get at: To what extent did UIUC have support services for you in this very difficult program? I have heard a critique that big schools in general, presumably UIUC then, do not excel in hand holding and helping students along, and then allowing attrition to take its course.</p>
<p>Eventually I 'll track down the engineering retention rates as well as the acceptance rates into engineering. I know that the entrance stats req’d to get into engineering currently are pretty high (mid 50 ACTs in the low 30s , I believe).</p>
