Transportation in the campus?

Allen will be the most difficult of those to reach the Engineering quad, since the busses running past there all go towards FAR/PAR, or towards the 6 Pack, before heading off to the Engineering Quad. Typically.

That being said, Allen is culturally an experience (you will meet tons of very interesting people there), and it’s directly next door to CRCE, if you like swimming, hot tubbing, or exercising. It’s also close to the main quad, and seeing as you are incoming, you’ll probably have a lot of gen eds to complete (as engineering generally has more than most of the other colleges).

FAR/PAR has excellent service via the 22 Illini to ISR, which borders the Eng. Quad. It will take a few more minutes to get there from the 6 Pack via the 21 Quad. Your decision though, both dorms offer totally different experiences… although really it doesn’t matter where you live because you’ll meet people through your classes and then do whatever you have to do to hang out.

Good luck!
