Bicycles Bicycles are not as common in the U.S. as they are in many countries, but there are many of them on campus. On campus there are bicycle lanes for you to ride in. It is important not to ride on the Quad or on sidewalks. When riding in the streets you are expected to obey the same road rules as automobiles. If you own and ride a bicycle on campus, you must register it with the Division of Campus Parking and Transportation at 1110 W. Springfield, Urbana.
Registration is free.
If you think you would like to live in Family Housing, send your application as soon as possible. The cost of this type of housing varies. If you wish to live in this type of housing, your sponsoring department may be able to help you arrange it before you arrive, or you might stay in a motel after you arrive and then make your housing arrangements after you've had an opportunity to see what is available. See the website given above for online information about non-university housing. If you cannot make housing arrangements before you arrive or if you want to have an opportunity to see what is available before you choose a place to live, you may choose to stay at a hotel or motel.
