<li><p>UIUC stands for University of Illinois at URBANA CHAMPAIGN. Our campus covers Urbana too, as Champaign and Urbana are “sister towns”. According to a 2009 census, Champaign is at 66000, and Urbana at 37000. If you add em up, as big if not bigger than Evanston. </p></li>
<li><p>Yes, Greek Life at UIUC can be a selling point. I promise you we party harder and with more attractive people than Northwestern frats. Hugh Hefner is a UIUC greek alum. </p></li>
<li><p>Comparable, probably. Regardless, NU is definitely not BETTER recruited for engineers than UIUC. </p></li>
<li><p>Dont get me wrong, I love NU. Im actually doing research in a lab there this summer. I chose it before I chose UIUC, and turning down such a selective school was difficult for me. That said I think it was a good decision.</p></li>
