What is this guide?
In the simplest terms, it is all the information I wished I had before departure. Our program seemed very disorganized and we arrived feeling we knew next to nothing. This guide is intended to give you, future exchange students, much of the information we were missing. While it may be useful in deciding if you want to go, it is really aimed at people already decided who are trying to make some concrete plans. To fulfill this goal, I have raided information from preexisting sources, and written quite a bit of new material. If there is a question that is not answered within, feel free to email me at: reames@uiuc.edu or reames@onestopwebservices.com.
