Illinois Wesleyan University, or IWU (pronounced eye-woo), is a small liberal arts university in Bloomington, Illinois that consists of about 2500 students.
IWU is in close proximity to Illinois State University, so often there is a sense of rivalry between students at each institution. The high cost of attending IWU makes some students at ISU believe that everyone at IWU is obscenely rich. However, contrary to this popular belief nobody at IWU pays for college in cash and almost all students at IWU get some kind of scholarship/financial aid package that makes the cost much more managable.

Joe: I'm at ISU, where are you going?
Scottie: I go to Illinois Wesleyan University.
Joe: Oh you must be really rich!
Scottie: And you must be an STD-infected chain-smoker.

Get the Illinois Wesleyan University mug.A rich area located near Barrington, IL and Palatine, IL that has rich and upper middle class families. The students usually attend Fremd HS. There are no sidewalks and to get to anywhere you need to ride your bike or drive a car because of the distances from homes to any place decent to hang out. As a kid you most likely spent your time at home or over at a friends house because your parent drove you there or you rode a bike. Once you can drive you hardly ever hang out in Inverness because you've got more options. There is a town hall, but almost no public services and until a few years ago Inverness's police services were from Barrington or Palatine, now there are two squad cars. Inverness still doesn't have a fire department of its own. Also, Inverness is so small that no one knows of Inverness if you go further south in Illinois, so you have to tell them its near Barrington, Palatine or Schaumburg.
tl;dr: Inverness is rich and there is nothing to do there.

Town right outside of Chicago, Illinois. Filled with rich white kids...and more rich white kids, with the occasional racially diverse person thrown in there.
Know for it's heroin problem, highschool cross country team, incredibly slutty girls, preppy "jocks", and the fact that everyone there thinks they're ghetto. Which they aren't.
Also, one of those towns where if you don't get out soon enough, you won't get out at all. It'll suck you right back in Seems nice on the surface, but in truth, everyone hates it.
If you're there now, GET OUT, or have fun living a life of being a stepford wife, classic working husband, or a whiny, bitchy teenager.
