Campus life
- Abby Estrada-Hernandez is a senior majoring in gender & women's studies.
- I first joined Students for Environmental Concerns (SECS) in the first semester of my freshman year, simply because the members seemed nice when I encountered their clothing swap by chance.
- The start of the semester is a good chance to have new beginnings and take advantage of so many awaiting opportunities! Starting your year off right can go a long way.
- LAS First-Year Experience (FYE) equips first-year and transfer students with the knowledge and resources for academic success and personal well-being, building community through LAS Liftoff, first-year courses, and opportunities to connect with peers.
- When I enrolled at the University of Illinois, I didn’t realize I’d have so many options for watching live music. Champaign-Urbana has everything from clubs to theaters to music halls. If you’re a fan of live music, you should check out some shows in the area!
- In March, an Instagram Stories series featured a competition among the most popular study spots in LAS to crown the Most Popular LAS Study Spot. Viewers of the stories were able to vote on their favorite study spots using Instagram polls.
- As a second semester senior, I’ve spent a lot of time finding fun activities at the University of Illinois. Whether it’s a fun way to pass time with friends, an opportunity to take pictures, or just a relaxing area to unwind, I’ve got a place for it.
- When I began my freshman year at the University of Illinois, one of the things that surprised me most was the vibrant food scene. Walking down Green St., I could get any food I wanted, from ramen, to burgers, to falafel, to poke bowls, to chicken tikka masala. The food options were just as diverse as a street in Chicago or New York City!
