Review of Eastern Illinois University

from Schaumburg, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The Gen. Ed. classes are all enjoyable and my major classes were taught by teachers who knew their subjects very well.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The residents halls are all nice and the college offers a lot of activities such as weekly movie nights in Buzzard Hall. However, Charleston is a small town with a limited selection of restaurants and stores. Walmart is the main store college students go to.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

A nice four year college for students looking to teach or still trying to figure out there major. One of if not the cheapest state schools in Illinois and an overall nice campus and community

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved early on, Eastern has a lot of clubs, activities and intramural sports for people to join. It really helps to get involved in something down here even it is just getting to really know the people on your floor. Since Charleston is a small town there is not much to do and Eastern is definitely a get out of it what you put into it school.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Looking for a moderate sized school with a very friendly and welcoming environment. Interested in pursuing a career in teaching or still undecided. Wanting to go to a state school but not spend a ton of money for four years of college.
