I don't believe so. There is a general engineering major but I don't think it's the same thing.

I'm a senior in high school and I live near the University of Illinois so I'm going to go there next year assuming I get accepted and everything. I'm not too passionate for anything but I like math and science so I figured engineering might be good. If I find out engineering isn't for me but I...

Yeah, Unofficial definitely did heavily involve lots of drinking, but that was one day. Even if UI was a huge party school(which it isn't), YOU don't have to party or drink. That would only affect the students, not the professors or the quality of your education.

I forgot to mention that I was looking for careers that don't involve credit card companies or financial firms. I want a job that actually helps out other people and the world rather than make a new videogame or that does something insignificant and doesn't better the world. Could you also list...

Maybe you should visit other schools and realize that Illinois drinking is just like other universities.

What are you talking about? There isn't more drinking at the U of I than there is at any other university. Plus there's only like 2 good bars. Topic creator, don't pay any attention to this post. There isn't an abnormal amount of drinking there and the atmosphere is just fine.

I live in Champaign-Urbana and I love the place. The U of I has a great engineering school, I believe it's ranked as one of the best in the US. If you have any questions about Champaign or Urbana, feel free to ask.

I'm still searching for a major and career that would fit me best. I'm sure this has been asked many times here, sorry if so. My whole life I've been gifted in math, it comes easy and I like it. I've started learning about more complicated stuff like Pascal's triangle, Fibinachi(sp?) numbers...

Thanks for the info. Mrjeffy, how did you find out about that job? Any idea about how I would go about finding out if the university offers anything like that? It sounds like it'd be fun.

Like I said, I'm new here. I like math and science, that's algebra 2 and chemistry 1(high school). So yeah, I don't understand anything of what you guys are talking about, but I'd love to learn it. About my future, I'm good at school and I like math and science so I figure a career in math...
