Who doesn’t love a good place to sit back and people-watch? According to the Champaign-Urbana community, this year’s top pick for observing the crowds is the iconic Main Quad.
On sunny days, the Main Quad is often filled with life — from walking to class to playing games with friends, students use the space for a variety of activities. A bonus point for the Main Quad is the possibility of catching four-legged best friends wandering around. As an intersection at the center of campus, the Main Quad has no shortage of variety of individuals, which offers a unique window into how the University brings together those from all walks of life.
Proximity to the Illini Union has its perks too. With a variety of restaurants and study spaces, people-watchers on the Main Quad can stop in for a bite or a quick cram session.
