I'm writing this review specifically to correct some deceptive statements on the One North/South website. They show a map which gives the impression of close proximity to the university, but the map scale has been distorted in order to deceive. They also state that their apartment is a 1 mile walk, when in fact it is over 2 miles from One North to the Main Quad. One North/South is the farthest you can possibly live from UIUC without being on the wrong side of the highway.
The One website also claims buses run every "10 minutes, 7 days a week", but they neglect to mention that they only run that schedule during the day during the semester (not at night or during the summer or breaks). Also the bus stop forces you to cross 4 lanes of 40mph traffic, and it is dangerous and a huge hazard. Don't even think about cycling on Lincoln Ave.
Another statement: "ONE is convenient to school, food, shopping and entertainment." I can't think of anything that is remotely close or convenient. Maybe a gas station.
If you plan to leave once in the morning then return in the evening and never go out, this might be an acceptable housing solution. Otherwise it's a total drag - no one wants to go out that far and there is nothing to do in that area. If you want to go out late at night you'll have trouble getting home. It really isn't worth the huge inconvenience of living in nowhere land just to save a few bucks on rent.
