Markymark, Great idea...however, we are looking for family housing (wife + 1.5 kids). Since you've been to UIUC...could you tell us where NOT to live? Or give us suggestions? Been looking on craigslist and found a few but we don't know. It's hard to get into housing having never seen the city or the apt! But it's only one year then we'll be in Peoria so how bad could it be not seeing the place? ha ha ha
Is anyone else married? Anyone else have children?
I'd say definitely look for something in Urbana, not Champaign. With on campus housing in the Champaign half, you are partially paying for the convenience of being close to the bars and other nightlife. Urbana is more chill and the housing tends to be cheaper. Also, the Medical Science Building lies about at the C-U dividing line, so you are not really any better off being a little east of campus versus a little west.
