Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright The faculty of the College of Applied Science and Arts were great. The local area is isolated, economically depressed, looks like 1972, and there's little to do. SIUC has alot of problems and the facilties are literally falling apart. It's kind of ghetto at SIUC. I would rather have spent the extra money to go to UIUC, NIU, or even ISU. The winters are mild though. The SIU profs are usually good, but the economic and social costs are too high, ther's too many ghetto kids there and there are few jobs. Spend the extra $$ and get a U of I degree.

It's located in the middle of nowhere, and you'll either find country hicks, or ghetto kids from the South and West sides of Chicago. You won't find too much in the way of intelligent conversation, as it's generally looked down upon here in favor of discussing where the next running keg is. Its only saving graces are its friendly and approach staff and its cheap tuition, along with gracious financial aid. If you plan on majoring in anything that isn't blue collar (which is this school's specialty, BTW), don't go here, because your "education" will be a waste. I'm transferring out of this dump ASAP.

I love it here, i love the people and the school itself. Though there are many places that are begining to run down quit a bit, this is still a great and beautiful place to do. There is also so much to do in the surrounding area. If you are not one for the outdoors though, this isnt the place for you. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Campus Maintenance: D+ Have a Question?
