Eastern Illinois University Reviews
The campus is beautiful, safe, and has so many wonderful opportunities for connecting with other students. There are events nearly everyday, a variety of clubs, and ways to connect beyond the classroom. The campus is diverse, with students of a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities. I will always cherish my time at EIU, the friends I've made, and the professors I have met.
