Hijack - lovespink - did you go to Univ of Illinois? I was just there Friday for a college visit with my son - he's a high school senior and interested in Engineering. We were very impressed with everythong we saw but - dang - the campus is HUGE!!!!!
PS I was so excited to see the Gamma Phi house there - it is beautiful and right smack dab in the middle of campus it seems!

I'm hijacking your hijack! You can't go wrong with U of I. It's a wonderful school with an amazing engineering program (my brother got his MS in engineering there). Tons of my friends went there, and Greek or not, it's a great school! Just don't let him go to Kam's, right lovespink?!

I love this house! If you ever get the chance to go inside it is absolutely gorgeous!

Sorry to continue the hijack, maybe I should just bump that "Rushing at U of I" thread that I know is around here somewhere...

That's great to hear-I was just confused when I creepily went and looked at your posts...I thought...hey, wait a minute, we never got to hear the outcome!

Yes, I do and I love it!

Yes, the campus is HUGE, which gets to be a drag come winter. But luckily for the most part your classes don't get too spread out. In the case of your son, for example, most of his classes would be together on the Engineering Quad. I'm glad to hear you guys liked it! Best wishes to him if he applies, it's a FANTASTIC school for engineering!

Oh, and the Gamma Phi Beta house is beautiful at U of I--I think it's one of the prettiest houses on campus! And like perfectinpurple said...

I second that ^^ (And perfectinpurple, your house is one of my faves too! I think I'm just in love with most of the houses at U of I...so pretty!)

Hahaha!! Ohhh, Kam's. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it, even though it's the definition of a college dive bar. It is after all, proudly called "Home of the Drinkin' Illini'", painted orange and blue, and sits next to the bookstore. In fact, it's looks like it's older than the bookstore. When I was a alumni donation caller, I had a few people ask if certain things were still around on campus, and Kam's was always the one bar they always asked about...

Okay, on with Auburn!!
