The Illinois Central Railroad, the Indianapolis-Peoria Division of the Big Four (New York Central Railroad), the Wabash Railroad, and the Danville-St. Louis Division of the Illinois Terminal Railroad all make direct train connections in Champaign-Urbana. If you plan to drive, there are also several State and Federal highways coming into the Twin Cities. The main ones are: Route 45, which runs north to Chicago and south to St. Louis; and Routes 10 and 150, going east to Indianapolis, and west to Bloomington and Decatur. And if you travel by bus, you can come on the Greyhound, Swallow, or Illini bus lines. «viW A i r V i e w of Stadium Terrace a n d Parade G r o u n d Unit Emergency Housing A r e a GENERAL INFORMATION WHERE IS THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS? The University of Illinois is made up of three divisions. The largest of the divisions is in Champaign-Urbana, which is a twincity community about 125 miles south of Chicago. If you count students and staff along with townspeople, the population of Champaign-Urbana comes to nearly 70,000. This last year almost 19,000 of this number were students. The campus is tucked in between the two towns. The heart of the campus, the Illini Union Building, is no more than 14 blocks from the business districts of each of the two towns. The other two divisions of the University of Illinois are in Chicago. One of these is an undergraduate division at Navy Pier. The other includes the University of Illinois Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. Busey Hall Lounge 4 5
