伊利諾州的氣候非常多樣，跟台灣相比起來這裡更有四季的感覺，夏天常常都是萬里無雲、艷陽高照，相當炎熱；春季跟秋季則相當乾燥而涼爽，是非常舒服的天氣；冬天則相當寒冷，今年冬天的最低溫度到達零下十九度，雖然個人感覺是低於零下五度之後的體感溫度都差不多，時常會下雪，在平原地區下雪則是在台灣幾乎不會看見的現象。
UIUC是一個非常純樸且可愛的校園，南邊主要是農學院以及一大片綿延無盡的玉米田和實驗田，並且有一座鐘塔是學校的地標之一。
在這裡想跟大家分享在這邊感受到的學習風氣，跟台灣有些許不同，這邊的上課氣氛非常活絡，老師們都非常鼓勵學生問問題，而學生也很習慣上課問問題，一但遇到大家有興趣的事情，往往可以討論上十幾二十分鐘，而每次因為問問題所以學習到的東西，可能比課程本身還豐富，因為老師準備的教材只是他知識庫的一小部分，而每問一個問題，老師可以藉機或者是想到更多補充的資訊。另一方面，有些課上課起來比較像是知識交流：有時候會聽到學生因為家裡從事相關行業或者是自己有興趣，分享了很專業也很有趣的知識，甚至是老師也不知道的，但是全班都受益。這也是和台灣比較不一樣的地方~~
