University Town in the Corn Fields
by gordonye
I did my undergraduate studies in the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, so I spent 4 years in this little town of 100,000 from high school to college graduation. Situated in a rich agricultural region of the midwest on a featureless flat plain, this little university town is surprisingly sophisticated and diverse, considering the population of the surrounding area are primarily devout Methodist Christians. A majority of the college students are from metropolitan Chicago, and the university's acclaimed graduate research programs are contributing factors.
