Review of Governors State University

from Crestwood, IL

Describe your college in three sentences.

Governors State University has the cheapest tuition of any 4 year university in the entire state of Illinois. It is literally in the middle of a cornfield, however highly qualified instructors fill the walls of GSU.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take advantage of the university gym, pool, tutoring center, writing center, library... just everything. Its all included with your tuition so there is NO EXTRA COST for anything!!!!!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

These highly qualified teachers don't take anyones guff and adhere to a strict code of conduct that is unsurpassed. Coming from a community college, the first day of class was a big kick in the butt for me.

Dorms are in construction and will be available spring of 2014.

kitchen on site serving hot food, treats, and even starbucks!!!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Pool, billiards, work out room, table tennis, all FREE!!!!

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

Coming from a community college the transition was easy coming to GSU, the campus pretty much is on one site with the exception of the computer lab department, and the child care center.
