Eastern Illinois University truly is my home away from home. The faculty truly care about the students. You are not just an ID number. The faculty know your name, and they teach in small class sizes across the board. Plus campus is safe and very vibrant! Overall, it is a great university with a strong emphasis on small class sizes and close interactions with faculty members beginning your freshman year. I am so glad that I chose to attend EIU!

It was a wonderful experience being able to have your professor actually teach the class as opposed to a TA. If you ever had any problems or questions they were available to discuss it with you and to help you through your concerns.

Good school, the dorms could use some updating in more ways than one, the dining halls can have their menus revisited and updated for better more nutritional food. Overall an average school.

It was a great place to watch my granddaughter move on to the very last state finals in Track & Field.

I have visited this university because my husband studied there. It was very nice experience for me. EIU has a welcoming campus environment and a vibrant student life with various organizations and activities. While it may not be as large or well-known as some other universities, it has a solid reputation for its education programs, business school, and the sciences. The campus is also noted for its affordability and strong community feel.
