U of I and Champaign-Urbana

I spent eight years at the University of Illinois, in lovely Champaign-Urbana. That was surely one of the best times of my life, one that gave me great friends, two degrees, and my wife. I'll share some images and videos about this great place, one that I still call home.

The list of names to refer to the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana is not short. C-U and shampoo-banana are two common ones, but those who been there long enough know that Chambana is the way to go. Here are some images of my days at U of I and the cornfields.

Let's start with a short walk around campus:

Here are a few more galleries:
