A reasonably priced college located in Charleston (aka Chucktown, Illinois. This university began as a teachers' college and has since grown to include a wide variety of majors. It takes a maximum of 20 minutes (if you are slow) to walk from any one given point on campus to another.
However, the only other thing in Charleston is Wal-Mart. Because of this, there is a distinct lack of things to do in Charleston other than party or sit around doing nothing.

It wasn’t long before Samuel arrived, family was sent for & a permanent settlement was taking roots. The settlement was named McCarty mills for the brothers’ grist mill & sawmill.
