Lovely city to be a student and to live in. This city offers lots of different shopping, living,…read moreand dining options both inside and outside of the university. Particularly in the area of dining, this city has a lot of amazing options at reasonable prices -- especially for Asian cuisine. Inside the city, traffic isn't terrible even even in the evening -- though you can expect some congestion going to marketplace, downtown, and along Green St. in the university. Overall great city to support the University of Illinois, and one of the best destinations for high quality dining in Central Illinois. For any gaps in dining and shopping, Urbana to the east complements Champaign well to provide a great experience for all.

I've been in this DMV three times over the last few years and I have *never* been in without one or…read moremore employees being rude. I make appointments, I bring the documents, I'm friendly and polite. This last time a man scoffed at me for asking him to repeat himself. It's super loud in there, and he was looking down so I couldn't read his lips, but I guess I'm the jerk? Easily the most unpleasant DMV I have ever been in. Next time I'm driving to try out the Monticello location.

I went as a translator for an international student who speaks very little English. The lady who…read moreworks the lobby (middle aged caucasian lady with long wavy hair) abruptly asked me if I had a number. I explained to her that I was there as a translator (which is allowed). She let out an "ugh", rolled her eyes and then walked away. Not sure why she was so "annoyed" at our presence, but can't help but think it was solely based on our ethnicity and having the need for a translator. Very rude and offensive. All the other staff we encountered that day were efficient and knowledgeable, especially the man who administered the drivers test. He acknowledged me as a translator and gave clear, concise directions, and was professional. While I don't expect friendly service at the DMV, there is no reason to be rude nor disrespectful.

The Circuit Clerk, Susan McGrath, shouldn't be in charge of a lemonade stand, let alone the Circuit…read moreClerk's office. When they're short-staffed, they simply don't answer the phone. Employees have no idea what they're doing. Filings that are supposed to be accepted within 48 hours often take longer. Filings are often rejected for invalid reasons, leaving filer to wait ANOTHER 48 hours after resubmission. Time-critical filings may be made on time, only to be delayed or rejected by the dumb clerks, and leading to filings not being timely made. This place really is just a microcosm of Champaign-Urbana, though. This area is populated by uneducated boneheads.

I mean it...not once, not twice, not even three times have they messed up....this makes over 5 times for me! I called the post office in MOMENCE, IL to see if my package was there, and sure enough....my package is sitting there. What's amazing, the nice postal worker in Momence told me this is a daily thing with miss-sent packages from Champaign Il post office being sent to them. One time Champaign told me they were understaffed...POOR EXCUSE! DO YOUR JOB, AND DO IT CORRECTLY! It's not that hard, and doesn't take a genius to figure it out. You get paid a very decent wage.....Do your job correctly, earn your wage!
