Living in Urbana - Champaign

The University of Illinois is located in the twin cities of Urbana and Champaign. Known collectively as Urbana-Champaign, this community of approximately 120,000 people has a dynamism and wealth of resources that exceed those of many cities with much larger populations.

Only 125 miles south of Chicago, the Urbana-Champaign campus and the surrounding area both contribute to the overall quality of life enjoyed by permanent residents and students who move here to study at the University.

A well-established and significant population of international students, and other residents who have moved here from around the world, has made Urbana-Champaign particularly amenable to the cultural diversity, interests and needs of students who come here from abroad. The University of Illinois and the Urbana-Champaign community feature a wide range of resources that contribute to the overall quality of life of international students, including a variety of socio-cultural organizations, ethnic restaurants, international grocery stores, and houses of worship for many faiths.
