As a student of Aviation at SIUC, I found the best school for aviation studies and parties. By my junior year, I lived in a house for $250 a month and had 6 kegs every friday, raking in $500 a night for the house. 606 W college st. Our rent was basically paid for. We lived comfortably, Partied hard, and studied hard. Remember, SIUC is still ranked as one of the best flight schools in the nation. I am a successful commercial pilot, and my days at SIUC will never be forgotten. Much has changed now, not so much partying till daylight in that town (afterhours on Cherry or beveridge), but still a great place to go to college. Some people living there still find the energy to buy a keg or two to host a house party every now and then, so enjoy it while you can. And even if you cant find a house party for 3 bucks a cup anymore, there is always Sidetracks.

| | | I have attended 4 schools throughout my academic career. This was undoubtedly the worst experience of my life. The people who live in Carbondale are toothless, inbred hillbillies. The school's facilities are falling apart. The library partially collapsed this year. The law school building's heating system is so poor professors teach in shorts in the winter. The faculty are arrogant and unwilling to help students. Cheating was rampant. The school has a reputation for being a party school. That's probably it's only positive attribute. This was a waste of time and money. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! | | Jul 22 2006 | PreLaw and Legal | | |

| | | The law school is such a disappointment. No one goes there because it was their first choice. Library is microscopic compared to most law libraries. The building's heating and cooling system never works. The professors are distance and arrogant with a few exceptions. Teaching quality is equivalent to a correspondence course. I wouldn't encourage anyone to attend here. | | Jun 06 2006 | Other | | |

I received both B.S. & M.S. degrees at SIUC in 2002 & 2004, respectively. Before I looked into attending SIU I had nearly no idea what existed in Carbondale. I feel I am very fortunate to have attended such an institution that offers a great learning/research environment and as well an extremely student friendly community where the students can take time to relax and take in some of the nation's best nightlife while not in classes.
The professors in my department (ABE) were very helpful through out my career as a student at SIU from when it came time to select/sign-up for classes to research help from varios department professors to career counseling, they will help you with it all.
Outside of the classrooms, Southern Illinois has plenty to offer, be it large state parks, lakes and many other scenic attractions, attending one of the best rated teams in NCAA Division 1 basketball games or a Saturday tailgate and catch the #1 ranked Saluki football team (1-AA) in action at McAndrew Stadium. There are also a wide variety of night clubs and establishments to appeal to the tastes of everyone. Fine dining or Pub & Grub, Sports bars to Dance Clubs, Southern has got it all, Not to mention a live music scene that is second to none! I would highly recommend attending Southern Illinois University Carbondale to anyone! | | Mar 28 2005 | Agriculture/Horticulture | | Estimation of Capital Recovery Periods for Bachelor's Alumni Who Earn |

| | | I've also completed my undergraduate work here. Each time, I've after earning a degree, I've come back to a warm reception a few years later. At present, I work for the university and I've relocated my family here. If the opportunity presents itself, I hope to join the faculty here and continue the tradition of providing one of the best learning experiences offered by a research extensive institution. | | Mar 03 2003 | Education | | |
