This is our 2nd child going thru the college process, so we've toured many other schools, but this is the 1st time we experienced so much kindness from folks not in admissions. Several examples where folks (staff, students, etc) came up to us to ask if we needed anything...it was so refreshing and just left an impression on all of us. Case in point, the librarian gave us a personal tour of the library as he saw us just wandering around.

The downside, a bit of PIA to get to if ur OOS.

Yes it is a nice friendly place miss it (only sometimes tho) after east coast interactions. The libraries are good and many librarians from area universities get their MLS from UIUC. Many majors. students from out of state as well as international "back in the day."

Have your kid get use to overnighting 1 night in Chicago anytime they travel back or forth to campus ~ problem solved.
