This University is still trying to piggyback upon it's out-of-date past reputation as a party school to try and recruit as many students as possible to enroll here. The party scene here is just very average and typical of a standard college town, nothing "legendary" or "special" about it. College students hang out at bars, have a few celebratory traditions throughout the year, and a few house parties. So what?? Is that supposed to be making headlines or something? Academics are at the BOTTOM of the priority list when it comes to resources, competent instructors, and legitimate grading systems (basically show up to class and you graduate, simple as that, trust me.) So there is no possible way to tell who legitimately earned their degree as opposed to who was "handed" a diploma. Instructors are so afraid to fail students that they will pass literally ANYBODY who shows up for class, even if they never learned a single thing all semester! A diploma from SIU means nothing except that you paid a bunch of money, wasted a bunch of time, and still remained as ignorant and clueless as you did before ever going in to higher education.
