Lincoln Avenue Residence Halls (LAR)

Body

Home to the Scholars Community, Lincoln Avenue Residence Halls (Leonard and Shelden) offer a quiet, friendly, laid-back community. These Urbana North halls have dining on-site, and if you eat vegan, vegetarian or Kosher, you’ll never even have to leave your building to find dining options that fit your needs. As the weather gets colder, that’s a huge plus. LAR hosts the Scholars Community and the Sustainability Living-Learning Community, which supports the LAR sustainability garden. A bonus: LAR is one building away from one of campus’ recreation centers and right next door to McKinley Health Center.
