YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Live at The LINC. Love Your Local Life.
The LINC sits at the intersection of student energy and the best of the C-U community. Being just north of the main campus corridor gives you the space to breathe without missing out on the UIUC experience. Your commute to the library or the lab is a non-issue, leaving you more time for the things you actually want to do.
When it’s time to unplug, you’re in the perfect spot to explore the best local flavors or head to the State Farm Center to catch the Illini in action. Whether you’re grabbing coffee with friends or heading to a game, you’re always right where you need to be.
