I can only help a little bit but for what it’s worth, I live near Austin and my mom went to UT for CS. Austin is NOTHING like the stereotype of TX. It’s a diverse, eclectic, mostly liberal group. They have a TON of school spirit (my dad would say to an obnoxious level, but he hates Longhorns. Lol) My mom was heavily recruited after graduation and the alumni network is great at UT. It’s a massive school so you can feel a little lost, according to my mom, but you find your group of people in the dorms etc. Like you, I’d like to know more about Illinois. I was born in Chicago but never visited the UICU campus! Good luck
