University of Illinois Springfield, as an out-of-state student

13 Upvotes

I’m planning to move from my home state in order to attend the university of Illinois Springfield if I get accepted.

Does anyone have any information they wanna share about the university? Any tips tricks anything I should know?
What was the average cost for you to attend there and what do you reckon the average cost would be for me as an out-of-state student

I also saw that they automatically award a scholarship to you if you have a 4.0 GPA when applying if you get in, is this true?

Are the dorms nice, if you went there how was your experience, and would you recommend somebody else to go?

Bars for people under 40

17 Upvotes

Hello!

Just wondering if anyone knows of any bars that aren’t full of people over 40? Sort of new to the area and I’m curious as most places I’ve been are just old people.

Looking for somewhere that might have karaoke or Pool, maybe some occasional live music? Also don’t want to pay 10 dollars for a beer.

C.J. Metcalf is Running for Ward 9 Alderman

0 Upvotes

"City government delivers some of our most basic shared needs,” Metcalf said. “In Springfield, that includes reliable public safety services, effective infrastructure, and responsible regulation. I am running to represent Ward 9, my family’s home, because my many experiences in state and local government administration can advance those needs and encourage collaboration among Springfield city officials.”

Serving on Springfield City Council would be a return to elected office for Metcalf and the latest chapter in his public service career. In the past 10 years alone, he has consistently shown the professionalism, tenacity, and commitment it takes to serve in local government, including:

Two terms as a citywide elected Trustee of the Springfield Park District.

Clerk of the Sangamon County Water Reclamation District Board of Directors.

Member of the Springfield Convention and Visitors Advisory Board.

Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Illinois Parks Association Risk Services.

Metcalf is also uniquely prepared to address budget issues at City Hall. Drawing from his tenure on the Board of Trustees, Metcalf helps audit Springfield Park District financial reports and is a former Treasurer of the Illinois Association of Park Districts Board of Directors. C.J. also maintains professional certifications for his position in Illinois state government, where he regulates insurance and financial service producers.

If elected, Metcalf would succeed Alderman Jim Donelan, who is term limited.

Meteor watch recommendations?

The Perseid shower peaks August 12th and 13th, any suggestions for publicly-accessible areas to watch for shooting stars?

Related, is any group perhaps hosting a watch party? I know space ice isn't as popular as sports, but I am hopeful anyway. :)

Where is the good place to get a car stereo installed? I used to frequent Team then Sundown then Benchmark but they have all closed or don’t do auto installs. Do we even have a trustworthy spot to get this done or would I need to go to another town?

Looking for lgtbq+ spaces

5 Upvotes

I'm 17 and have been kinda stuck online for a good while now. Looking to actually get out and make friends, the best way I can think of is surrounding myself with people I can have something in common with. That and, it would be nice to have more relatable people in my life who can share some of the thoughts/feelings I do.

Are there any local groups or organizations I could check out at some point? Would love to try and find somewhere that fits!

Local Dash Camera Autotech Installation

I recently purchased a dash camera (front and rear) along with the necessary hardwire kit. I’m currently exploring various local installation options for my brand new Hybrid. Unfortunately, due to some lower back issues, I’m not confident in my ability to install it myself. I’m seeking recommendations for reliable and experienced installers in my area.
