I had grown up very close to SIUC as a kid and had been by the campus many times as a little kid. I remember seeing all the "big kids" drinking coffee at cafes, reading books and scurrying from class to class. I remember how awesome the school lokked. Pristine, and in good shape. After a few years in the Army, what I came back to was not what I remembered.

SIUC is a shadow of its former self. Many of the classrooms are in a major need of renovation. Alot of seats and desks are broken, and the enviroment is less than inviting. Classes arent too far aprt, but even if you do have a walk between classes, dont expect to see much more than sidewalks and buildings. This college isnt very into looking clean and organized.On the other hand, most classes and buildings are fairly close together, and doms are pretty close, so no need to worry about showing up late if you sleep in.

Administration is top notch. If you have a problem, or need some paper work, these people will go that extra mile to help you. Honestly these people should work for a major coporation for as much work as they do.

The town is fairly small. Lots of small restaraunts and bars to hit up, plus a mall and othe things youd expect in a college town. If you dont drink, expect to be a little bored, as thats all thats really offerd.

Now to my main point, the teachers.
