Community Events
One of the most common complaints heard from college students on any campus is that there’s nothing to do! On a campus the size of Illinois’, that could not be further from the truth. A quick look at the university’s calendar shows multiple events and activities each and every day. However, students sometimes become restless and want to get o campus. If that’s the case, the Champaign-Urbana community and surrounding areas have multiple festivals and special events students can enjoy. e following is a small sampling of what the o -campus community has to o er this fall for students to enjoy.
