The Research Upskiller
My favorite part of MCS in Chicago is that you can enroll in the course you want, even if it is full. Many professors scheduled their class one day in Chicago and another in Urbana. The classroom is small, so the professor will remember you, learn more about you, and pay closer attention to you. You will have a chance to talk to the professor more easily than in a large classroom. I found more opportunities to work with professors and get their advice. By taking CS 597, I found a great research opportunity.
