Hi~ to everyone!

I am a Chinese fellow. In my plan, UIUC is my dream, although the high expenditure is hard to afford.

I have received the admission letter yesterday. But there is a question. According to the letter, i am enrolled in the 2011-2012 class of the University of Illinois Master of Laws program. but, i found that, according to the words on its home-page, it may spend 2-3 years studying the llm program.

am i wrong? as i heard that the llm program was usually within 1 year. I am confusing.

waitting for answering...

hi

I do not know the exactly website that you mentioned. However, I think it means the max duration for you to study in the program. You can read the usb material which UIUC sent to you.

Hi, lawtw,
thanks for your help! i am going to read the material at once.

Hi
I am the current student in the UIUC LLM program and its surely the one year program, the school basically will not let you study more than one year becuase I asked this before I came. :p

It is a great experience to spend a year here, hope you like it! Feel free to ask me questions.
Good luck!

I want to correct about the dorm part, what applicant of law said was not all correct. I live in graduate dorm myself, its very convenient for me, knowling people from around the world in fact is depend on yourself that whether you are dare to talk to your neighbor or join the activities which dorm held for you. There are activities almost every week and will have people cleaning your bathroom and sink every week. The disadvantage of dorm is it doesnt have living room since its a dorm, its more expensive than living off campus and you cannot have your own kitchen (but for me is fine). Everything that you need are in walking distance if you live in dorm (but ya not wal-mart or some big mall).

Hi eggkingukuk

Thanx for your point of view too..i will consider your opinion too while coming to a decision. Tell me something about the meal plans at the university hostel..i just dont understand "meal plan credits"

Please let me know what is 6/14 classic meal plan..i can cook but not much..so i was thinking to considr these meal plan options if not expensive..

thanx

Hi~
As graduate student we can freely choose our meal plan, and the least meal plan we can choose is 6 meals per week. It means that you can have 6 meals in a week no matter breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is not accumulate that the 6 meals will start each week that if you only have 5 meals this week, you will still have 6 for the next week.

The credit is like money becuase you can also choose your meal plan not only including your meal but for the "credits" you can use in certain coffee shop (law students will not use this I think lol)

If you will not cook often and will eat in the dining hall then it will be cheaper if you choose the meal plan. I did not have meal plan becuase I am lazy to walk across the street. lol

Hope I did answer you question. :)

hi applicant of law

i checked a bout the three university apartments namely ashton woods, orchard downs and goodwin -green...
tell me about the university apartment lease agreement, did you or did you not sign the lease agreement over the internet or you went down there by yourself and checked out each of them.
I saw their videos, furnished/unfurnished they seem nice and comfortable, so what do you suggest should i sign the lease over the internet?

Also, how many classes for LLM are scheduled each day? when do we get off from the day..let me know.
Thanks
