Last Friday while we were away on break, the Duke Chronicle ran a column by sophomore Stacy Chudwin. Instead of heading south to the beaches for her vacation, she came here of all places. Nope, she’s not crazy, she was just visiting an old friend. After sitting in on some lectures and scoping out the social scene, she reminisced about the dilemma that many students face in choosing a big state school with an above-average reputation or opting for a smaller, more expensive institution with a golden name.

Turns out U of I totally beats Duke in the party scene and gives it a run for its money (literally) academically. This is quite heartening.

A big salute to Stacy Chudwin and if any reps from other college newspapers stop by at the U of I, be sure to visit us here at The Daily Illini. It’s a party 24/7 here…well, we like to think so anyway.
