Oh I miss Champaign. I was there from '94 to '98, and it's still home.
There was always something being built, but never anything tall. This will definitely be impressive on campus. Because of the pancake flat farmland, you can see University Inn (tower on third), Bromley hall and a few others from about 10 miles out on 57.

I worry about the quality a bit. Most of the new student apartment construction was expensive as hell while being downright shoddy and having bedrooms the size of a postage stamp.
But this isn't a 3 story apartment block, I'm sure things will be fine.

I have a sister-in-law who lives in Champaign. I'll take pictures when we go down to visit.
