#7 in Aerospace/Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering
#8 in Insurance
#10 in Real Estate
#11 Top Public School

(Per US News & World Report)

And that's just undergrad, we have many top 10 graduate programs as well.

For perspective, I am actually surprised to hear we were 1. Top ten, sure, no doubt about it, but I always assumed that schools where football is religion would always rank higher. I can't imagine what those tailgates must look like...and that's a whole semesters worth of huge parties!

I know we rank high because of Greek life, our 19+ bar entry age for the 10+ on campus bars and Unofficial...but still, I was actually a little surprised to be #1.
And there are 23 Nobel Prize winners among the University of Illinois alumni and 20+ Pulitzer Prize winners.
