I won't have the car down at school, I store it for 8 months a year. It's pretty much a summer commuter and weekend track car. You will have a great time at U of I. Excellent education, especially for engineers (I'm Mechanical also) and a terrific social life with lots of great bars and good looking girls. You can't ask for much more !!!
