I did well academically and enjoyed the social environment, but quickly grew bored with the campus and surrounding area. There is nothing to do here. Nothing culturally stimulating whatsoever. Most of the faculty are competent in their respective fields; however, much of the coursework is "dumbed down" and is not challenging or interesting. Many of my classmates could barely write a paper in the English language. If you wish to have a challenging academic experience and a fruitful social life with like-minded individuals, you may want to consider attending one of the larger, more selective universities in Illinois or out-of-state, or at least transfer there after 2 years and save a little money and get the general education requirements under your belt. While I have a Bachelor?s degree now and a great career, I do have some regret about not getting out sooner and experiencing a truer college experience. Every decision the University makes seems like a joke. As I understand, the selectivity of admissions and general quality of the campus, including safety, has deteriorated further since my departure. I sincerely hope this does not lessen the value of my degree. Pros: - Good value (cost perspective) - Plentiful campus employment - Competent faculty Cons: - Wasteful, bureaucratic administration - Unhelpful, uneducated staff - Not challenging coursework - Low performing student body (noncompetitive) - Unspectacular in every way (not desirable academically, or even as a party school as there are only a few dumpy bars) Friendliness: A, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

HOUSING AND STUDENT STANDARDS HAVE A LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE STUDENT AS A HUMAN BEING. I don't even have to explain myself. I got in trouble with a roommate for "excessive staring" and was given a judicial sanction after it was discovered I had bulimia. A bunch of bigots covering their ass. God will give them their karma.

My experiences there were bad even though I graduated with honors. They were pathetic little people who tried to crack the whip and make you tow the line with intimidation. What a joke-especially after the hazing death in 1970. I had a few good teachers that I will always remember--a zoology teacher, an English teacher, and a psychology teacher who were all amazing and could have worked anywhere. I worked hard and had the grades to show it. But how I wish I would have gotten out of there after the first year. I would imagine it has changed a lot since I graduated way back then--I would hope so. Preparedness: F, Reputation: F Have a Question?
