The new $28 million dollar College of Business School is impressive. You have to go and take the tour on the Illinois State web site to see and believe. The campus itself is very asthetically pleasing and uses all the latest technology, touch screen computer podiums, WIFI connections, and many buildings have modern computer labs. You can even check out laptops from the campus library, Milner Library. The 2 main factors of the reason why I chose Illinois State was the its very affordable cost and the program is AACSB accredited. I am in my first year of the full-time MBA program and thus far all the teachers have been bright and engaging, not dry at all. Also, all the professors have their PhDs. One could easily browse the teacher faculty website at Illinois State to see exactly what academic credentials are there, and yes, even Ivy League PhDs teach at Illinois State. What is also nice is that you have part-time student full-time workers in the same classes. Those people add real value to the educational experience as they can relate to what is going on in the work place and how a topic does or does not fit in the real world. Also a great way to network yourself with your interaction with those students. In the College of Business, as of this writing, CoB MBA GAs earn $750 a month stipend plus free tuition. That is excellent for 20 hours of work.....much better than what a part-time job could do for you. Illinois State has name recognition. While it isn't Ivy League, it also isn't Ihaveneverheardofyou University. The educational experience combined with the cost always places Illinois State in the top 100 best value schools in America. The educational experience is always going to be what you put into it. If you ever feel you aren't getting what you want out of an institution, then you really need to transfer to another school and get what you want. Once you graduate and develop your working reputation, no one cares what your school was, if you produce, people see it. If you don't produce, then everyone avoids you and snickers behind your back saying you only got the job because of your school (and you won't get any promotions either and when department cuts happen, you will be cut, seen it many times). A word of advice, don't ever slam your alma matter. That isn't anyway to improve what you feel needs to be improved. What looks worse, you slamming a school, or that you graduated from a school that you just slammed. Think about it. To end this, I have a varifiable university e-mail addres, unlike a lot of the people slamming the school.....most of those "reviews" are very shady in knowledge of the school, and anyone going to the school can see that.

This school does not have much of a reputation for academic excellence or for using up-to-date technology. Graduate students are underpaid and heavily used by the faculty for teaching undergraduates or as research assistants. Departmental politics are rampant and often involve graduate students.

This university is pathetic. It does not hold a candle to my undergraduate university. Their technology is lacking in a huge way (computers around campus etc.). It also seems that many of the professors here do not even have their Ph.D. The campus doesn't make you smile and the student center is archaic, dark, and dingy not to mention the services such as food etc. offered in the student center are unappealing. The library also needs a facelift. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE! May 09 2003 Other
