Which has a larger campus, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign or the University of Richmond?

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has the substantially larger physical campus.

UIUC suits a student who likes the scale of a major public research university: long walks or bus rides between some destinations, extensive academic and research facilities, multiple distinct neighborhoods, and a campus that blends into the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana. Its size supports a very large student body and a wide range of colleges, labs, recreation spaces, and student organizations, so the environment can feel busy and city-like.

Richmond fits a student looking for a more contained, walkable residential setting. Its landscaped campus is known for its cohesive design, lake, and Gothic-style buildings, and most undergraduate destinations are close together. Although Richmond is not tiny, it feels much more self-contained and intimate in daily life than UIUC.
