The 9 Bars That Make UIUC One Of The Best Party Schools In The Nation

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (which, by the way, is located in Champaign-Urbana) is basically known for its bars. When you turn 19, it's more significant than you're 10th, 16th, and 18th birthdays combined. However, some bars are better than the others, and here is your plug for the best UIUC bars.

1. The Red Lion

Do you want to dance on (fall off of) tables? You want to barstool it for three hours? Do you want to stand outside in the beer garden? Do you want to stand in line for an hour to pay $15 cover? Do you want to take a notorious picture in the nasty bathroom? Do you want dark lights and loud music? PERFECT. Lion is the place for you!

2. The Clybourne

Four words: Wine. Night. Tiki. Bar. That is all.

3. Joe’s Brewery

Come to Joe’s if you want to see underage freshmen sitting and “having dinner” until happy hour starts!

4. KAM’S

You’ll either lose your shoe because the floor is sticky or face plant because it’s slippery and then end up smelling like stale beer for the rest of your life. But as long as you take a picture in front of Alma holding a Blue Guy to show your friends that you do indeed have a social life then it’s all worth it!

5. Murphy’s Pub

Do you feel like Ted Mosby or Barney Stinson? Head to Murphy’s for the perfect “How I Met Your Mother” experience.

6. Legends

Grad students. Grad students everywhere.

7. Brothers Bar and Grill

Middle-aged men stuck in college that just want to play trivia gosh dang it.

8. Firehaus

Let’s just say if you block here, you shouldn’t even be in Greek Life.

9. Illini Inn

Is this place even open? That is an actual question.

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
