Newman Hall gave me a place to call home and introduced me to my best friends who became like a family to me over the past few years. Finding so many people in college who share the same values as me seemed like it would be impossible - until I came to Newman Hall. I am beyond blessed to be here and be a part of such a positive, encouraging, uplifting, and faith-filled community that you could truly find nowhere else on campus. Daily Mass, delicious food, and prime location right next to the UIUC Main Quad are just added bonuses!

Newman Hall is an amazing place for students to live at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign! Not only are they the closest UIUC residence hall to the Quad, but also the food is great and everyone is treated like they are family. I am so thrilled by what my daughter has experienced living there. Best home away from home.

For the past 4 years, I have had the gift of living at Newman Hall at the University of Illinois. During the most trying moments in college, this place kept me going.

It is where I have made my best memories throughout college, where I have found the most peace and joy, and friends I will have for life! I can't imagine my college life at UIUC without Newman Hall!

Throughout my two years at the University of Illinois, I have experienced tremendous growth in my friendships, academics, and faith because of Newman Hall.

The inspiring community of students is one of a kind and the friendships I have made will last a lifetime.
