Advice for New Residents: Get out there and meet people! I know it can be challenging moving to a new area, I’ve been there and specifically with Champaign-Urbana. Meeting people is challenging and even more so for individuals who move with a family. I’m happy to help new residents in those situations break out of their shell and meet new folks and explore the area’s attractions.
