Yet Champaing-Urbana is the main locale of the Univeristy of Illinois.

Home away from homeI live in Chicago, Illinois and make a point to visit Champaign every chance I get (twice a month, even in the winter). It is now my home away from home.
Why? Since I am a city girl, I have to have the major centers close by like: Walmart, SAMS, and restuarants. I have never felt threatened in Champaign while I shopped and I do not see beggars ...You did not find this review helpful.1 of 3 Yahoo!

I love this place!!!The twin cities of Champaign and Urbana, are home to the U. of Illinois. The cultural diversity is very much evident and you get an unique opportunity to mingle with students from various geographical locations.
To go with the diversity, you have a wide variety of cuisines to choose from. Tang Dynasty is a very good chinese place to eat from. Kamakura is a good choice for Japanese foodYou have found this review helpful.3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

Diamond in the Rough"Subpar" too harsh for you? Try checking out the "newly renovated" children's museum downtown and see what I mean. Other than that, we were pleased to spend a week here working, playing and shopping in Summer, 2004. Champaign, downtown at least, is on its way to achieving that cosmopolitan ambience so many college towns try ...You did not find this review helpful.4 of 7 Yahoo!

Lots to offerLots of quality performing arts. Good local restaurants. Lots of nightlife with a great variety. Too many chain restaurants, not enough local flavor. But that means there is a lot to choose from foodwise. Great sports facilities, easily accessed (both ingress and egress). Close to E/W and N/S interstates. Well educated populace. It can't decide whether it wants to be a "big" small town, or a burgeoning metroplex.You have found this review helpful.3 of 5 Yahoo!
