Community

The Illinois campus and the surrounding Champaign-Urbana area offers a vivid tapestry of culture, art, outdoor adventure and entertainment to the community. With over a thousand acres of parks and forest preserves, dozens of museums, frequent farmers markets in the warmer months and so much more, there’s enriching experiences everywhere for our students, staff and local community.

Above all, the university and its twin cities promise a welcoming environment to all its residents and guests through cultural centers, community events and a sizable international influence from our global population.
