Southern Illinois University-Carbondale

All of my teachers at SIUC overall have been fantastic. I especially recommend Dr. Hahn for Philosophy 104 and Dr. Martin for Sociology 108. Dr. Hahn is a wonderful teacher and does a good job keeping lectures very interesting. He does not put up with cell phone use, which is great because cell phones constantly going off during lectures are very annoying. Dr. Martin's class is also very entertaining, but his tests are difficult. He makes sure people know the material by having you apply what you learn in lectures and discussion sections. Overall, the teaching at SIUC is great and really do care about the grades you are earning.

Some of the general courses may feel like a breeze, but there are many interesting courses to choose from. I found I started to learn the most when taking classes that pertained to my major. Sure upper level courses are challenging, but they are well worth it.

I am currently going to be a senior at SIUC in Computer Engineering, and have found that the teaching in the engineering school is quite good. The classes are small enough that the teacher can get to know you personally and meet with you whenever you need. I come from the Champaign area and if I would have gone to the U of I, I probably couldn't have gotten to know my teachers personally since the class sizes are so big there.

SIUC is a great school if you are looking for a school that has countless opportunities. I have only been here for a semester and I have gotten email after email from my respective college (Education and Human Services) about different opportunities that would interest me based on my interest of study. This school always has events going on so it is really easy to find your place here on campus.

As a freshmen having just completed my first semester, there have been few classes that have given me a challenge as intro classes are fairly simple, however, those few more advanced courses have taught me much and the small class sizes really facilitated actual learning.

The physical functionality of the school has its ups and downs. Though there are some students here with non-academic goals, there are just as many dedicated, aspiring professionals. The teaching and administration, and the opportunities offered are all available for those passionate enough to find them.

I am a Sophomore this year and I am currently majoring in Aviation Technologies and minoring in Aviation Flight. SIU Carbondale has the best AvTech instructors in the nation, if not world. Their laid back but thorough teaching methods encourage you to want to learn the material that is required to this nation's and any aircraft up and running, safely. There is not one class that I have regretted taking and I don't believe there will ever be one!

I am in the Future Scholars program and it is preparing me for the fall. I never studies this much so it is discipline. I am finally learning about other cultures history and how they lived. Speech is teaching how to overcome my fear in front of crowds. I recommend it for shy people/

SIUC has a plethora of classes and majors to choose from! I’m now a sophomore and I’m taking a dinosaur and reptile class, I am so excited to take a class that is so diverse from the other classes I’m required to take for my major! The gen. ed’s are easy as long as you actually go to class, which if you go to class and pay attention you can at least get a C. Sometimes teachers drop an exam grade which is awesome in case you don’t do so hot on one!

Its nothing like High School, to make the grade you have to study and go to class, but I am leaning alot and am enjoying class...Now if only I didn't have 8am classes
