Get the Chicago IL mug.UIC is an acronym: University Impossible to Complete! UIC is located at the Chicago campus of University of Illinois. (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for science/medical/technical majors. The exception is music/art history etc majors... majors for fun and to meet the pro bono humanities requirements). If you like a huge school that is too hard, UIC is the school for you!
Example:
I went to University of Illinois at Chicago to learn. Instead I got kicked out, the mission impossible song stuck in my head, and owe half of my future life earnings.

Get the University of Illinois at Chicago mug.Related Words
(UIC)An amazing downtown university experience with quality education, conveniently located for internships (...and concerts/ clubs/ shopping/ restaurants etc!). Living off campus with friends is less expensive, and perfect for inviting study groups, and of course throwing parties!
Home to the largest population of apparently friendly city pigeons who have the right of way on campus. Similarly, students jay walk into traffic any time they darn well please! There's no UIC football team... Chicago is sports PARADISE! Go Bulls, Da Bears, Cubs OR Sox, Blackhawks! There might be a UIC basketball team, but students generally don't care. There is also an AMAZING workout facility, but the majority of students are too busy to utilize it.
One of the most diverse universities in the world; aka 'University of Indians and Chinese'. This is true of both students and faculty. For example, UIC's world renowned Engineering researchers/professors are there because they speak the universal language of math, NOT because of needless qualifications such as being able to speak English fluently while giving lectures!
Chicago's such a great city, and UIC's an amazingly fun university experience because it's downtown. Parties in Chicago also consist of students from many other great universities in the city, such as DePaul/Loyola!

"So where did you go to school?"
"The University of Chicago."
"Sweet, me too! What fast food restaurant are you working at?"
"No, no, not the University of Illinois at Chicago. The University of Chicago. I got a degree in Economics there and now I'm making 120k a year on Wall Street."

Get the university of illinois at chicago mug.A big university in Chicago that's extremely boring. A majority of students are commuters and therefore clubs are mostly dead and parties are virtually nonexistent, a stark difference from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The campus is well known for the ugly architecture and confusing to navigate buildings. It has also earned the nickname University Impossible to Complete because of its low 62% 6 year graduation rate.
I did not get accepted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign so I attended University of Illinois at Chicago, it really sucks here

Get the University of Illinois at Chicago mug.Chicagoland is a term that carries several common misconceptions. It is believed by many people (usually living in the northern and western suburbs of Chicago) that Chicagoland, or more formally the "Chicago Metropolitan Area" is restricted to only the areas within the Illinois state boundaries. However, due to the fact that a metro area is based on cultural and employment patterns and similarities, this is simply not true.
Because Chicago is such a large city on its own, it boasts a much wider metro area than most others in the country, save for New York and Los Angeles. Dating back to 1950, when statistical analysis for metro areas emerged, Chicagoland included several counties in Illinois (Cook and the adjacent counties such as Will, Lake, and DuPage) as well as Lake County in Indiana which to many a-Chicagoan's surprise physically borders the city. Over the years, due to Chicago's expansion, the definition has also widened to include four more Indiana counties (Porter, LaPorte, Newton, and Jasper) as well as Kenosha County in Wisconsin.
This phenomena is not unique to Chicago, and examples can be seen all throughout the U.S. New York City - New Jersey, St. Louis - southwestern Illinois, Kansas City - western Missouri, and many more. So before you let silly biases like state lines get in the way, remember to check your facts!

As I mentioned above, a metro area is not determined by state lines, but by a shared culture. For example, the types of cuisine unique to Chicago can be found all around Chicagoland. Things like the Chicago Hotdog, the Maxwell St. Polish, Italian beef sandwiches, deep dish pizza, and etc. Other examples include the commuter culture, or the people who travel into the city for work; favorite sports teams; dialects and slang; time zones (Northwest Indiana shares a time zone with the rest of Chicagoland, and not the rest of the state).
