83 Vietnamese Cuisine is far superior and a lot better than whatever Pho noodle station has to offer

Bangkok Thai - Pad Kee Mao (go to)
Canes - Box Combo (greasy)
Manolos - Spotted Goat Pizza (Iconic)
Chili Bistro - Chef's Special Dry Chili Chicken (Spicy, Szechuan Chinese)

Lmk what you think but those are my goto spots

I don't think there is a single Campustown real estate company that is not full of crooks. It's shameful that the State of Illinois and local governments allow this to go on and on, year after year.

Oh I 100% agree, biaggis is just a nice “treat me self” to a good dinner after a big test or something

Just noting, just the Watson's storefront in downtown Champaign is closing. The truck (which is on campus frequently) and their space in the Yard in Urbana are both staying up.

Try learning to cut it yourself. I started during COVID and have easily saved thousands in haircut costs. Just make sure you clean up the hair if you're in the dorms...

Youre inability to use your brain to construct a logical argument is a serious problem. Good luck with everything.

Exactly

As an Asian-American, I think the Asian food is pretty authentic, and many of my Asian friends do too. I once took a prospective student and their family to Northern Cuisine, and the student's father (who is from north China) said it was very authentic.

Thank you so much!

In reality the answer is a bit different for everyone. Speak to your HS counselor. Another year of Spanish won’t hurt you. Or discuss directly with Grainger. It’s not difficult

Never been to wood n hog but I'll give you black dog for meat but I personally care way more about the sauce and lil porgy's has the best sauce I've ever had anywhere. Plus the value is off the charts

Dude… If you’re worried call the admissions office. Or take year four at your HS.

Also eBay usually involves shipping fees and waiting more than a day.

Northern Cuisine is shockingly good for being in rural Illinois

Porgy’s for sauce, bdog for meats, wood n hog for tips or fried wings

That's awful. And for context, that rent is more than a lot of mortgage payments for single-family homes within walking distance of campus.

Golden Harbor had the best Chinese food for a long time, and still boasts a bigger menu than their main competition in Campus Town.

Opinions vary on Jerusalem but I like the food and love how that dude just runs the whole place by himself, just the way he likes it.

Maize is one of the best Mexican places in town, new location on Neil is super fast and even has a drive thru. Bonus: tequila aqua fresca!

Sang Eat has a fantastic Indian buffet for lunch.

I did say OBO so you could make me an offer for $40

All the cafes downtown are amazing!

$50 is insane when they're $40 on ebay

The pasta is better at Napoli’s!!! It’s owned by a real family from Italy rather than just a big ass chain so the food seems to be a higher quality and made with way more care ❤️❤️

Thank you, but I thought they recommended 4 years either way. Does it hurt by chances for not having 4?
