I love Eureka College! Overall the professors are really good except for a few rare exceptions. You get a nice small town college feel which I think adds to the overall atmosphere. You do here a lot about Ronald Reagan while you are here, but why shouldn't you? Not that many colleges the size of Eureka can boast about producing a US President.

While some of the professor assign difficult projects they also create a deeper learning experience. The historical essence of the school is shared with the current student body by the many high calibur guest speakers that share their experience with the students. I would recommend this school to anyone who desires a moer personal experience.

Don't waste your time coming here. Once you start here, it's almost impossible to get out. Nothing will transfer out.

I thought I'd like Eureka because it was a small school close to home but I was definitely wrong. I transferred in so I felt like an outcast, it reminded me of high school, I did not feel like I was receiving a quality education from the professors,and I learned that quite a few students cheat their way through classes. Transferred after 1 semester

Ronald Reagan went to school here. If you become a student at Eureka College you better get used to hearing that. Thank god I won a scholarship here because this school is expensive for being in the middle of no where.
