Review of Illinois State University

from Wayne, IL

Will learn a lot

I'm going to be an elementary teacher, and Illinois State is the best university for education. I've heard it from a lot of academic professionals. I know I will learn so much about teaching. I can't wait!

Will enjoy being here

Of course I'm going to miss my family and friends here, but I know I will meet a lot of new people. I love the campus at ISU too. I feel like it will be a home away from home.

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

It's expensive, and I could really use some help paying for it, so my parents are helping, but they also have to pay for my sister who's going to North Central College in Naperville, IL. That's also really expensive. I know in the end it's worth it though, and my parents want to see me go to school and be successful regardless of the money factor. Help would be appreciated though! :)

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

ISU is a big school. If you want to go here, I recommend a visit before you make your decision.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Any kind of education major should definitely apply and attend ISU.
