Love About C-U: The movie theaters usually have all the films I want to see. When I'm home in Southern Illinois, I always have to drive 30 minutes to see anything interesting because the closest movie theater only shows PG-13 garbage comedies.
Lots of bars where there aren't many middle-aged rednecks.
The lack of rednecks in general, on campus at least.
Lots of options for late night food.
Hate About C-U: No one cares to shovel the sidewalks or plow the streets until it's all ice.
