Take a look at Parkland College in Champaign. They have the Parkland Pathways program with Illinois. He could spend the first two years at Parkland and then transfer to Illinois. As an added bonus, students in this program are allowed to live on campus at Illinois, in the dorms or in apartments. There are also apartments near Parkland, but then they’d be missing out on the on campus experience at Illinois.
