In the fall of 1999, I will be attending The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a Junior majoring in Computer Science. I chose the school due to its excellent reputation in Computer Science and the lower cost when compared to other private schools. I also like the large campus, as there is always something to do.

My freshman year I lived in the Florida Avenue Residence Halls (FAR) which is just about as FAR from everything on campus as you can get. Then for my sophomore year I moved to Allen Hall, where I roomed with Jawed Karim. Allen was quite a bit more disfunctional, but I made some really good friends and managed to keep in touch with my friends at FAR.

This year I am living in an Apartment with 4 other guys that is a block east of Green and Lincoln (if you are familiar with campus). Should be a lot of fun, and it's going to be nice not having to eat cafeteria food anymore!

I also frequently attend Juggling Club and Rollerblade around campus with Tom while I'm in town, although I tend to go back to Colorado for summer. Illinois just ain't that cool of a place to live. I feel sorry for all my in state friends.
