Whether you end up staying at DePaul or UIUC – research clubs! You might find one that fits your interests quite well, and that would be a good way to improve your social life. The longer I live, the more I realize that what makes a place enjoyable is not the place itself (scenery, weather, sports scene, bar scene, classes, libraries, restaurants, etc.); what makes a place enjoyable is the people with whom you surround yourself. They make life great.
