The twin cities of Urbana and Champaign are home to the University of Illinois, with Green Street marking the border between the two towns. About three hours south of Chicago in the heart of the farming heartland, the campus gives the area a lively cultural and dining scene that belies its setting in the cornfields. The Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and the university's many museums are worth a visit.
