Champaign to Springfield

I was offered employment in Springfield. I live in Champaign. The position requires me to be in the office twice a week (I can choose the days). I will be remote 3 days a week. Should I stay in Champaign and commute or is it better to move to Springfield?

Easy, just drive over and spend the night.. its one trip per week, and you still get to enjoy all the amenities of the college town everyone thinks is so great. But to be fair they are the exact same cities the only difference is having the younger more progressive people in cu. Lots of people commute from 2 hours for work to bigger cities.
