I'm trying to decide between UW-Madison and U of I's programs. I have more family near/in Madison, but U of I is still close to my brother and sister who are in Chicago. I've lived in Madison before and love the city. I'm worried that Urbana/Champaign does not have much going for it beyond the university (I'm not interested in partying & drinking). I'm definitely interested in public libraries, and may be interested in either adult or youth services. I have not had a chance to visit either campus yet. Does anyone have ANY insights into the programs of these two schools or the cities?

I'd be grateful!
