What I like about I.T.: "I love Illini Tower! The location is great, about a 5 minute walk to about anywhere. The staff members are very welcoming, which made it easy for me to transition into college life. There are a lot of activities to help build community and relationships with people who live in the building. Illini Tower was one of the best things of my freshman year at the University of Illinois. :)"

My favorite place in I.T.: "The basement. I like playing pool, table tennis and shuffle board there. I always come downstairs and compete with other residents. The most amazing thing here is that we even have a movie theater in the basement! You can watch lots of movies in it after you get bored with your homework."

Favorite thing at Illini Tower: "Overall it is just a really nice place to live. The location is amazing, i can make it to the quad or Green Street in about 5 minutes. It's also just a really nice community to live in. I honestly feel like I have a second home/family here. There are always things to do and it really made my first year at U of I enjoyable."
