A school often confused with the University of Chicago, an elite private university.

Like Penn State and UPenn, a wealthy and intelligent student body gets screwed over by the name of their college.
"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."
"Oh. Would you like fries with that?"

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
