The University of Illinois Urbana - Champaign

Work is hard. No big surpirse there. If you stay with it, you'll do fine. There's no forgiveness here, you fall behind, flunk, whatever, there's no one here to catch you. Your on your own more or less, though the school will offer a little help, and there's is help if you seek it. But you got to seek it, because nobody here is gonna come out of the word work and save you. So if you need somebody to carry you through life, this isn't the place for you. Well, maybe it is. It'll remove that quick. Sure did for me.

Dorms are ok. There's plenty of apartments right on campus too. Find people with cars (you'll need 'm). Place is huge so you'll spend lots of time on bus or bike. Really cold in the winter, really hot in the summer. Its a good time.
