When choosing schools I was debating between ISU and SIU, I visit both but felt more at home at SIU. The people are really friendly and there is always something to do. There are about 400 student organizations and Intramural Sports, so there really isn?t an excuse to get involved. There is always something to do!

At the College of Business I have felt that everyone is there to help you out in what ever they can. Most professors are there to help you out as much as they can whether it be finding an internship or letting you know about job openings.

Carbondale is not that great kind of a sketchy area. There are some good bars and some good food. It would take a lot to write about this university so to wrap things up, if you like the out doors, hiking, fishing, and camping. Then this school would be great for you.

Not the party school it used to be but it's still a fun university to attend. I'm a Chicago kid but they really need to raise their standards of admission because some of the Freshman Chicago kids they allow into the school are just plain stupid and most don't make it past the first semester.

After being accepted here, I did an outrageous amount of googling to see what this college is really like. I found many negative comments in the shuffle, and began to worry if I would have any fun coming here. If you're in a similar situation, I would say to just let college happen. SIUC is amazing. Seriously, everyone is super friendly, and approachable. If you walk into a house party, no one will ask you "Who do you know?" or "Why are you here?". Everyone wants to meet new people, and have a good time. After only a week, you'll make more friends, and meet more people than you thought possible, and it will seem as if you guys have know each other for much, much longer. This school is amazing.
