Community

Champaign-Urbana, home to the University of Illinois, is a place where the sense of community found in small cities and towns meets the outstanding cultural and entertainment opportunities usually associated with major metropolitan areas. It is a place where world-class faculty members are your neighbors, and where leisure is laced with learning.
