Eastern Illinois University

great school

There are not enough words to describe how much EIU taught me to succeed in the real world. The instructors are supportive, classroom sizes are set to easily establish strong peer groups, the smaller-sized campus is manageable, and the students are friendly and inclusive of others.

I love EIU!!! Every class size is small enough that you know each other. I would encourage you to get involved in whatever ways you can! The EIU staff is amazing as well. It's a small-town vibe so it seems like all the staff knows each other which is kinda cool!

Good school. Great price. Lots of parties on the weekends. Lots of academic supports. College of Education is one of the bests in the state!

LOVE IT! I am thriving here. There is an insane amount of academic support, especially for student athletes, and lots of activities to get involved in. The dining hall food is what you would expect any dining hall to have and the dorms are kinda nice (I lived in Lincoln). I'm half way done until graduation and I'm definitely gonna miss it here.

Eastern Illinois University is an exceptional institution that not only prepares you in your academic field of choice, but gives you the skills and materials you would need in the outside work force. The faculty and staff go above and beyond to make you feel more than just a number. We have a small student to faculty ratio, affordable high quality

Eastern is an amazing little campus which can really feel like home.

EIU has an Ivy League feel to it. I attended this university on and off campus for four years. I always felt safe and included. The staff and students taught me how to network and to support/be supported. I cannot say enough about my experience. Advice: take advantage of clubs and free opportunities!

I moved to Illinois from Florida. Coming from larger university campus, I am very impressed with the quality of this campus. The professors have great respect for their students and care about your success. Most classes feel personal in size, but even in the larger classes, my professors knew my name. You truly feel surrounded by family here.

E - I - E - I - E - I - U love it. food is not always the best but it's dining hall food... what do you expect? my roommate is lovely and makes dorm life easy (living off campus next year). there are plenty of clubs and activities to get involved in. small school BUT who can beat rolling out of bed one minute before class and making it on time
