Good Hacker Cities
jayp: Champaign/Urbana, IL. Cheap cost of living. Lots of good engineering students on tap. Great community. Great bus service, especially around campus town. Get from any point A to any point B in town in less than 10 minutes. Plenty of events (athletics, theatre, parties, etc.) due to being a university town.Negatives...corn fields galore. And flatness. And long winters.(This is not a joke. But most will think that it is.)
