Not much to review here, but this place is so vibrant! There is always something going on, especially during the summer/fall. They have the summer quad cinema series (every Thursday at 9 pm). Its a fun place to chill, eat, work, enjoy the weather and basically take a break from hectic work/studying schedule. This definitely is my favorite place (during the summer when its not too busy) at UIUC.

Nice spot to come hang out or get a few pictures. Occasionally there is some maintenance or muddy/dry spots, so check out the area you intend on chilling at before you sit down

Its exactly how youd expect a colleges quad to look. When the weather is nice, there are always people playing frisbee, walking their dogs, and laying in hammocks.

I do love green spaces. This has it. Bring a friend to throw some frisbee or a blanket to read a book. It gets crowded weekdays about 10 to 15 minutes before the hour.

Theres not much to review here. Its super nice to hang and chill and relax on the grass when the sun is out. There is a lot of activity going on when its the warmer months. Theres a lot of space for frisbee or football. And theres good spots for hammocks.
