The cities of Champaign and Urbana surrounding the campus total something around 120,000 people, so it isn’t a small town or anything. It is just that once you get outside of the city, you have 90 min of farmland between you and Indianapolis, 2 hours of farmland between you and the Chicago area, and about 2 hours and 30 min of farmland between you and the St. Louis area. Champaign is somewhat isolated, but the campus itself is fairly urban considering that it is in the middle of Champaign-Urbana.
