New DI Column: Why UIUC Doesn’t Suck That Much

This column is a change of pace for me, as it’s not generally negative or advocating some sort of reform. In light of the fact that many UIUC students–myself included for most of my time here–don’t realize how good they have it, this is a column of appreciation for the things that make this university a great place.
It’s also a shameless plug for the Institute of Government and Public Affairs, a wonderful policy and government institute at this university that too often goes unnoticed by students. I was an intern there my junior year, and I got to work in the same building as Governor Edgar, which was kind of hot–even though Augur thinks he’s a murderer or something.
