The University of Illinois Springfield is the U of I campus that offers the small classes and close student-professor relationships that are the hallmark of a private college education. Students know their professors at UIS and it’s not uncommon to see them lingering after class to go through a formula one more time or just talk about the Cubs vs. the Cards.
