Illini Union — Local services in Urbana

Great Place for resting if you're homeless.. My ONLY problem is that they don't have any couches or ottomans so you can actually put your feet up and lay back. I was reading some people's reviews about all of the other amenities and honestly I am very much so impressed. I will visit those places inside of the UIUC one of these days. I am currently attending parkland college & I know I will need somewhere to study. Hopefully by then they have a better place for studying in the common area or something. BUT Overall... I would rate it a 10/10 it only has 4 stars instead of 5 because of the resting area.. most of us are moms/single moms (me included) who work and go to school so much needed rest time in between classes and before i have to get the kids is...

If you bowl with a curve, prepare for the most inconsistent oil patterns. The oil is frequently shortchanged on the lanes, making the ball either hook way to early or go into the gutter. It’s a shame, it used to be fun to bowl here, but now I never know what to expect when I throw the ball. It’s even worse that they don’t have any sort of sign or anything telling if the lanes were oiled or not. It’s frustrating when trying to compete, so I’ll no longer be coming here unless they become more responsible with the lanes. They break down so often too. It’s just lazy.

EDIT: They've greatly improved before Corona hit. If only some of the arcade games were kept in shape, but the rest of the stuff to do is well...

This place has everything to suit your needs.

This place has a food court if you need something to eat in-between classes. There is also a Starbucks and Jamba Juice if you're looking for quick refreshments.

The Quad Store is very nice to get some miscellaneous essential items, and the Tech Zone provides electronics and accessories.

If you need to relax and still have classes, or you want to study and catch up a bit, the places is a good place to do so with its lounges and study rooms.

If you're bored and have nothing planned, get down to the arcade and bowling alley. It's quite cheap...
