iSchool graduate student ambassadors are happy to answer questions about their experiences in our School and at the University of Illinois.

Here are a few sample questions that our ambassadors have answered recently:

Where do students find internships or practicum opportunities?
What are some courses that you recommend?
How do you balance work with graduate study?
How do you enjoy living in Champaign-Urbana?

Follow these steps to start a conversation with an iSchool ambassador:

Select an ambassador.
Select "Create Your Account."
Complete your short profile.
Adjust your communication preferences under "Settings."

Ambassadors answer questions as soon as they can, depending on their schedule. If your question is submitted outside of business hours, a response may wait until the next business day.

While iSchool ambassadors can answer general questions about the admission process, specific questions about your application should be directed to is-futurestudents@illinois.edu.
