I wasted a lot of time and money at this school. I was interested in the textiles department, and was excited to find a school closeby that offered the program. Many of the classes are led by graduate students, not real teachers who are too busy working on their graduate projects to even give you one on one attention (which is needed in any art class). In my fabric class I was eager to learn new techniques but instead learned how to "tie-dye". I could have taught that myself. The school is more focused on general studies, of the five classes I was taking only 2 were related to art. After struggling to keep up with the other non-art related classes I barely had time to focus on my art, which was the reason I was in school there. When I needed assistance with anything (lockers, signing up for classes, parking etc.) the faculty was of no help, and didn't seem to care. By the way, who's great idea was it to put the art building the farthest away from the parking lot? Lugging all of my massive supplies (without a locker since there are only 1/4 the amount offered than of students that are there) was a pain as well. Overall it was a waste of time and money. Huge dissapointment, my community college classes blew SIUE away. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you are interested in art!

Not so bright
Is a safety campus,staff,instructors are friendly.I came here as a transfer student from Chicago,I realize is harder going away from home and as a transfer student,people come from small towns, the people that claim they are from chicago, are from a suburbs that is one hour away from the city.my advice to you if you wanna go away from home,stay two hours or three the maximum.schools gets cancel everytime it snows,you got to drive,students here they just say hi,they do not keep me close to their agenda,I regret sometimes coming here,if I would start all over,I will be really careful to make this kind of decision.

This school is quickly becoming more popular but I advise those who probably live close to choose another school at any cost. This is basically a country commuter school that acts like any other high school in terms of behavior. On the weekends the campus is DEAD because everyone either stays or drives home. The majority of the female student body is obsessed with getting married. The greek system sucks but there is one good sorority on campus that deals with unicorns i think.
