UIC development. Blog 27



I really enjoyed class today! It was funny the things students mentioned as being an issue at our school. I for one agree completely that the buildings are depressing, dreary and dark. Whenever I'm in a classroom, there are either no windows, or the windows are tinted and weirdly shaped so it always looks like there is bad weather outside. Aside from that, we have an excellent location. It is a short ride from the madness of the loop, and compact. All of our lecture classes are in really close proximity, and there are busses that will take us to the blue or red lines.

There are only a few things we COULD add or subtract from our school. We pretty much have no more room for expansion, so with changes, it would mostly be just appearance of our campus. At night, especially around south or east campus, there aren't enough lights so students feel safe to walk around. It is pretty nice around south campus though! We could also use a splash or two of color with art deco or brighter exteriors. If it were possible, it would be nice to have more food options and maybe retail shops that cater to the interests of students (cheap retail chains, not the exspensive ones we have now on south campus that many students aren't able to afford.)
