A Day in the Life at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

A Day in the Life at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Nihal is a tutor in Chicago specializing in Algebra tutoring, Pharmacology tutoring, Chemical Engineering tutoring, and many other subjects. He received his Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013. See what he had to say about his time at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Nihal: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, called Illinois by most students, is in a typical college town setting. The campus has a very accessible bus system that is especially useful during those brutal winter months. In the warmer seasons, however, students tend to forego the bus and ride their bikes or skateboards to class. It was not entirely uncommon to see a professor zip past you on a longboard heading to lecture! Getting around campus has become even easier over the years. Students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have recently developed a bus app to view bus times and routes, as well as to plan trips in advance. The university and the local police department always ensure the safety of students through active monitoring, services such as SafeRides and SafeWalks, and freshman workshops with safety tips. Downtown Champaign also has an Amtrak station with daily trips to Chicago and other surrounding cities. There is not a strong need to have a car on campus, but it may be convenient as you get more comfortable with the town! VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Nihal: During all of my courses, seeking out the advice or help of professors and teaching assistants was extremely beneficial when it came to exam or assignment questions. My professors highly encouraged office hour visits, individual appointments, and group study sessions. Yes, it is true that some professors may be very difficult to reach given their busy schedules, but there is always a teaching assistant or tutor who will make time for you. My advisers were also very available, either through set walk-in hours or appointments. I was very fortunate to have approachable and resourceful advisers who did not hesitate to help with scheduling, career advice, or even resume critiquing. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Nihal: The dorm life is one aspect that I miss tremendously about my college experience. The students I met during dorm life ended up being my closest friends. There is something very special about experiencing college with a close group of people, each going through similar transitions. Together, you get to try new things, good and badboth a part of an enriched college experience. Over the last year or so, the university has totally revamped dorm life, with newly built freshman housing, living-learning communities, and dining halls that offer stations of healthy, freshly prepared food. Each housing community has its own student committee, which organizes hall-wide events like fundraisers, food fairs, and carnival-like festivals. They are great ways to get involved during your freshman year, as well as to build relationships with staff and fellow peers! VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Nihal: Being a large university system, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is well represented by a wide variety of majors and programs. Over the last few decades, the university has become well known for its Engineering and Business majors, each holding reputable national rankings. I chose Chemical Engineering, a program that is related to the College of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. My fellow students and I were very fortunate to have the best of both worlds; we had complete access to resources within the College of Engineering, as well as our own laboratories, advisers, and funding from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, you will have the chance to meet and interact with a diverse population of students, each pursuing their own dreams. The university provides the tools, skills, and resources for each and every student to follow his or her career path. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Nihal: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has one of the largest Greek systems in the nation. It is a wonderful way for students to find their social niches within such a large student body. After establishing a social life early on in college, students in Greek life are able to connect with alumni via their respective fraternities or sororities when developing their career paths and professional networks. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has molded freshman living into a holistic experience with access to hundreds of clubs and sports teams. There certainly is no dearth of opportunities to make friends and meet people from all over the world. I was fortunate to have a very tight-knit group of dorm-mates during my freshman year. Many of us were from other states and even countries, so we were quick to relate to each other as new Illinois residents. As a result, the majority of us did not have a strong need to join Greek life. The university does a wonderful job of ensuring that for those who may find it difficult to create those networks, there isa myriad of social opportunities. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Nihal: Champaign-Urbana is located in the heart of both the state of Illinois and the Midwest region. Being only a few hours from cities like Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis, the university attracts the attention of a long list of reputable companies. Career fairs take place throughout the year, allowing students the opportunity to interact with recruiters during their career searches. As a student, I was particularly impressed with the vast resources the university provided for my career aspirations. The Career Center is probably one of the most underrated resources for students. There are services for resume critiquing, mock interviews, career advice, and alumni networking. Campus recruitment and career services are two features that as a current alumnus, I feel proud of and truly fortunate to have within my reach. It is comforting to know that the university goes above and beyond in providing for its students. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Nihal: Again, being such a large campus, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has numerous facilities, all of which are easily accessible to students for individual or group study sessions. Freshman year was a great time to explore and find that specific library, computer lab, or room where you could quietly study, complete assignments, or participate in interactive study groups. Each student has his or her own distinctive study techniques. The university, as a result, has over 20 libraries across campus with unique features that cater to every student. It is true that the more popular locations tend to get busy during final exam times. However, with a list to choose from, there are rarely times where a student is unable find a quiet place to study. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Nihal: Champaign-Urbana is a small town that is mostly comprised of the large campus and student body. Located about three hours, by car, south of Chicago, there are many opportunities to travel to the city for a weekend or holiday break. As an international student, I relished the chance to go home with friends and explore the city. In the Champaign-Urbana area, my friends and I made sure to get a taste of what the towns have to offer. We attended sporting events such as football, basketball, or volleyball games, participated in intramural sports, watched theater and orchestra productions, ran half-marathons, visited apple and pumpkin orchards, attended music and food festivals, and volunteered with community service outreach programs. Champaign and Urbana both have their respective downtown areas where students can experience festivals, concerts, and restaurants in a quaint and chic area. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Nihal: The school consists of over 40,000 undergraduate and graduate students. With a large student population, many students tend to believe that it is increasingly difficult to find ones place in the university community. However, with a diverse student body arises a wide spread of activities, clubs, and organizations that students can join based on their individual interests. I was extremely happy to find a core group of students who shared my same interests and hobbies. Over the course of your undergraduate education, you will also begin to develop close relationships with those peers who are in your major or program. By my senior year, I was so proud to have built strong friendships with most of the students in the Chemical Engineering Class of 2013. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Nihal: I struggled in my first Organic Chemistry class during my sophomore year. It was not the first time I was exposed to the material, but at the college level, the course was fast, challenging, and rigorous. I found it difficult to create that sort of mindset that allowed me to think analytically like an organic chemist. The programs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign really develop and test your ability to think critically. Rather than simply memorize theoretical topics, a subject like Organic Chemistry became a means of thinking outside the box and applying oneself. I knew I had to seek help with my assignments and examinations. Dr. Steven Zimmerman was our lecturer for the course and also the Chemistry department head at the time. What drew me to his teaching methods was that he understood that the subject was difficult. As opposed to simply lecturing, Dr. Zimmerman guided students to success in the course. He held daily office hours, was approachable when setting up individual meetings, and provided various resources to ensure individualized learning of the subject. He knew how to pinpoint the potential in an individual and how to foster a desire to learn and mature within the classroom. I really owe my success in the course to Dr. Zimmerman, and I am ever grateful for his guidance. The faculty in your program, the university staff, your peers and fellow Fighting Illini are essential characters in your development and growth as not only a student, but also a citizen of a diverse, wholesome community.

6 Ways to Use an MCAT Tutor to Boost Your MCAT Score

6 Ways to Use an MCAT Tutor to Boost Your MCAT Score MCAT Medical School Admissions 1. Objective Evaluation of Readiness to Embark on the MCAT Odyssey The first thing that you need to do before you even start to do anything committing for the MCAT is evaluate whether or not you are readyright now. While some say that you may take the MCAT more than one time (up to two or three), it is not recommended. Depending on the school and rigor, schools may take your best individual sections as your score, or average out the scores, or take the lowest score, no matter what. So in the end, you want to take the MCAT once, and a knockoutonce.Read as much as you can about the MCATand what it entails to prepare for it. Also worth evaluating is if a career medicine is what you like. If you are gritting your teeth down for studying because “you really don’t like to study,” then maybe a career spent studying, even after graduation, is not the best for you. Evaluate if you have what it takes, because us tutors here do not want you to waste your resources, time, and effort on anything. 2. Work out a personalized study plan according to extracurricular, employments, and/or volunteering This is where we start to come in! A sort of intake interview will help us gauge how many hours a day you have available to study, and based on that when an ideal test day would be. Be prepared to bare all, becausepreparing about the MCATis about putting everything on the line and using every minute of the day that you can to study, even if that means you will have to skip that Game of Thrones or Dexter episode. It’s okay. Even though we give up these luxuries for now, we get to be doctors! 3. A plan for milestones throughout the preparation time period to reach one final goal score Us tutors will help formulate a goal that is both attainable and within your desire to score. Be sure to check the MSARs (Medical School Admission Requirements) to see where you stand with your pre-preparation test score and where you want to end up, according to the schools you hope to gain acceptance. This is a careful balance between your own personal information that you have on your GPA, extracurricular activities, and experiences. Once this is decided, it is important for us to set score-goals along the way so that there is a plan of attack to attain the desired score. 4. As a resource for questions on topics in each subject area. This includes reviewing how to reach the correct answer with a logic walk-through and identification of missing knowledge. Tutors are here to answer any questions you have on the material itself. TheMCAT exam is not hard because the exam is written in a difficult way, it’s because the material is hard too! We are here for any questions on conceptual questions, and easy tips and tricks for solving classes of problems, including verbal and problems involving math alike. 5. Quick tips for solving problems in 35 seconds or less Tutors will help fine-tune your problem-solving skills so that you may finish each section with enough time to go overallof your responses before you move on the next section, all while maximizing your time. 6. Tips for the day of the MCAT: “I wish someone had told me that on the day of the MCAT…” Tutors will take you through the test-taking processand what it is like. This in itself is an experience that can change how you perform on the exam. This is why so many practice tests are taken, so that any discomfort caused by the exam-taking cannot be because of the exam format or the like. Tutors will review rules, regulations, tips for test day, and even what to eat! “Nasya is a private MCAT tutor in Chicago who has been working with MyGuru for several years. She graduated from the University of Chicago with a B.S. in Biology, and will be attending the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical School in 2014.” hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

A Relaxation and Coping Guide for Pre-Business School Students

A Relaxation and Coping Guide for Pre-Business School Students pixabay.com When it comes to post-undergrad planning, pre-business school students certainly have a lot on their plates. Between studying at all hours of the day and night for the GMAT and working to stay at the top of their games academically, socially, and professionally, those aiming for business school are always on the go. Yet, just like any other stressed-out college students, they deserve to power down every once in a while and simply breathe. If you are a pre-business student and find yourself periodically wanting to tear your hair out or cry, or both, you may benefit from some suggestions on relaxation. pixabay.com Get organized and get things done early With so much to do, it’s easy to feel constantly overwhelmed, overworked, and sleep-deprived. Having a schedule of priorities is paramount to your sanity, as it allows you to list out all your tasks and complete them in a timely manner. A planner or simply a notebook is a good place for you to jot down all your to-do’s. You may find it helpful to rank your tasks according to their importance and then plan out roughly how long each one will take. Once you’ve organized everything, you will have an easier time of looking at your tasks and knowing what you should do first. For some, getting organized even serves as motivation to tackle duties more quickly and efficiently. If you’re one of those people, you’ll probably feel immense relief and satisfaction after crossing off some of the bigger things on your list. By taking initiative with your responsibilities whether they are completing homework for your many business classes, taking time to study for the GMAT on your own, or preparing for an important interview you’ll be able to step out from under that gray cloud and enjoy the sunshine in your day. pixabay.com Take some time to yourself For busy pre-business students (or any college students, for that matter), setting aside time specifically to relax sounds absurd and unfeasible. But in many cases, the advantages of spending extra time to relax outweigh the time you ordinarily would have spent stressing over something. Even when it seems impossible, there is always a way to incorporate some “me time” into your day. If you prefer to start out small, set aside 10 minutes to do something different from whatever you’ve constantly been doing. Tired of being chained to your desk with your computer and books? Go for a quick walk outside and enjoy the sun on your face; chat with a friend for a few minutes to get some human interaction. Feeling drained from constant networking in your business clubs and organizations? Retreat to a quiet space and recharge yourself, perhaps by listening to music or reading a good book. You know yourself best, so don’t hesitate to reflect on what the most effective, life-giving relaxation options are for you. After you’ve allowed your mind and soul to truly rest, you’ll hopefully feel significantly more energized, fresh, and prepared to tackle the rest of your responsibilities. Spend time with friends preferably not in a business or academic setting At this point, you may have spent so much time in the same atmosphere, surrounded by the same people and doing the same things, that you’re dying to be in a new environment, at least for a little while. If most of your friends are from the business realm of your life, make it a point not to discuss business-related things while you’re out having fun (unless, of course, you want to talk about business, which is perfectly fine!) Hanging out with friends from other parts of your life is a bonus: you’ll be exposed to the new details of their lives, rather than the same thing you’ve been thinking about or stressing over for much too long. By spending just a few hours in their world talking, laughing, and joking, you can temporarily take your mind off your own situation and simply enjoy the moment. pixabay.com On the flip side, talk to someone such as a mentor, parent, professor, friend, etc. about your business school goals Having someone to turn to so you can voice your ideas and worries, as well as receive advice and support from someone about your business-related ambitions, can lift a huge weight off your shoulders. Talk to someone who has experience and knowledge relevant to what you want to accomplish with your MBA. Perhaps visit one of your business professors during office hours, or approach a trusted mentor or friend for support and advice. Also, don’t knock the idea of asking your parents for help. Even if they don’t necessarily have a similar background as yours or know much about the corporate world, they know you and are sure to offer some wise words that you can take to heart.

Middle school 5 ways to decode your science textbook

Middle school 5 ways to decode your science textbook Middle school back-to-school: 5 ways to decode your science textbook Middle schoolers will be taking a new level of science classes this year that are a little bit more challenging. Many students avoid looking at their textbook; its a ton of information all at once after all. However, the textbook provides some of the most helpful study tips and concept information that students need to do well in their courses. One of the reasons science textbooks can seem so intimidating is because many students dont know how to decode them. However, once broken down into reasonable parts students will find that the vocabulary words and concepts arent so hard after all its never too early to book your Orange County science tutor. 1. Vocab Science textbooks offer a ton of complicated vocabulary words. Nearly every middle school student will have a vocab quiz on a regular basis, so its important they become comfortable with these words. The first thing to do is look at the root word and prefix or suffix. Once a student understands these terms, they will be able to apply the knowledge to nearly every term in the book. Memorization on its own can be quite difficult, so its a good idea for students to put different science terms into groups that have something in common. They should store all of their terms online in a website such as Quizlet, so they have the term for later on in the year. 2. Charts and graphs Science textbooks are also pretty big on charts and graphs. Visual learners will probably appreciate the color coded organization, but not all students will find it as helpful. If this is the first time students are looking at charts and graphs at this level, they should ask their teacher to explain how they work using simple examples. The important thing is to understand the theory behind charts and graphs and how they organize information. Students can also work with a tutor if necessary so they can create their chart to demonstrate their understanding fully (READ: 5 things to ask you kid during the first week of school). 3. The glossary The glossary is one of the most overlooked sections of a science textbook. However, it is one of the most helpful tools for students of any age to utilize.   So many students will slip through page after page looking for a vocab term from the previous week. This takes up a ton of time and wastes valuable energy. Instead, students can find all of the words in the glossary in alphabetical order. If a student has forgotten what the term means or needs to check the spelling all, they need to do is flip to the back of the book. 4. Highlighted material Middle school science textbooks are pretty good about highlighting important information or putting it in bold. Anything in bold or highlighted in yellow is something students should take an extra look at. These terms often appear on vocabulary quizzes or are important concepts that students will need to know by heart to do well on an exam or complete a research paper. Students who become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of their science textbook are encouraged to focus on highlighted material as a starting point. This will give them the main points and then they can branch out to more minute topics. 5. General Concepts There is an amalgam of basic concepts covered in every science textbook whether its about earth science, physics, or chemistry. Its a good idea for students to start by organizing different general concepts into different categories. If students discover they are utilizing all of their age appropriate study skills but are still not quite getting it, it might be a good time to work with their teacher or a tutor to explain the concept differently. Science textbooks are extremely useful, but they only deliver information in one way. With so many different learning styles out there having somebody explain information in an interactive environment can make all the difference in the world.
