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!
