Welcome to Champaign-Urbana
To some this community may look small and sedate. But don't be fooled.
There are a lot of new residents in Champaign-Urbana these days: faculty and staff at the University of Illinois, employees at the various new businesses and institutions around town and, especially, students at the University of Illinois. Many of these newcomers are from the Chicago area, or from larger cities all over the country and the world (Korea, China, India and Taiwan are the main countries of origin for international students here).
