As a current junior at this school to in the same major actually. This response is really spot on about all the problems that eastern has. Eastern is a good school but it really is no where near what it is hyped up to be. The town and its citizens do everything they can to make it clear they do not want us there. However the only reason the town is still around is because of the college. Also we have an entire dorm building that is closed down because enrollment is down so much. In my honest opinion the location and who Eastern's target market is are its true problems. |
People like you are the reason the town people hate eiu. You come from the big cities and then trash our town. Our crime rate has increased due to all the big city people moving here because of eiu. |
Without EIU your town would not exist. Their is nothing to support this town if the college went away. Like it or not WE STUDENTS KEEP CHARLESTON ALIVE. |
Major: Communications (This Major's Salary over time)
As a now junior who is currently going here i'll be honest with everyone. Eastern is a good school and the friends I've made here are great. However Charleston is a white trash poor town that does everything it can to not like the school. Also there is honestly really nothing to do in the town. Now if you leave the town that's a completely different story but the major store in town is Walmart. If it were not for the friends that i made here i would most defiantly be transferring to a different school. It may hurt people to say this but Eastern really is a slowly dying school. Enrollment is really down and we just don't have the money that we really need to be at are full potential. Also coming from a very big town to a town of ten thousand is a major shock. Overall Eastern is not a bad school its just not that it is all hyped up to be in all the tours.
