UIUC Dorm Options

Accepted to UIUC for the class of 2023!

Looking into dorm options, here are things I’m looking for:

  • Want to avoid party dorms, away from most frats if possible
  • Still want a social dorm, preferably somewhere close-knit
  • Ideally, a Rec Center close and located not too far from quad
  • Econ Major, so take that as you wish

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

I believe Snyder is substance free, and also super close to the ARC (recreation building). I lived there my freshman year a long time ago (it wasn’t substance free then) but it was a great option.

Oh, the other option is busey Evans. They are generally quiet ( one is male only, one is female only) also super close the other rec spcenter (crce) great location as far as quad, and I don’t believe there are frats nearby. There are a few sororities close by though.

Snyder is a good option for you, just across the street from the ARC.

Alternatively, Allen Hall is right next to CRCE, and is quite social. (left-wing politics highly recommended)
