Michaella
Because UIC consists primarily of commuters, students need a place to wait in between classes. While there’s a commuter lounge, I even struggle to find seating on campus. This can be frustrating for students who have gaps in their schedules or need a quiet place to study. It would be beneficial for UIC to consider adding more seating, especially for those who rely on the campus for their daily activities.
