The education program here is the best one in Illinois they help all kinds of education majors to have a secure job and maintain a place in the education world, they help students not only learn how to be a teacher but they provide insight on being a good person.

Amanda

The Art and Business programs

Abrecia

I love the extra curricular programs. All of the student regristered organizations (RHO's) are ran by very optimistic students. Joining an RHO is an easy way to make friends and find a family away from home. Also you get a since of belonging and a place to spend some spare time.

Alexndra

The teachers genuinely care about each individual student, unlike some high school teachers I have had in the past that only seemed to care about passing you so you can move on and be someon else's problem. They work hard to be available to help yo whenever possible.

Stacy

My school has a large environment that appeals to all kinds of student. There are many opportunities, progams and activities that are available for all interests. Even though it is a large university, it has a small feeling to it. The best thing at my school is there are many doors to success, however, it is up the to student to open those doors, which teaches the student discipline and goal setting.

Cynthia

It is a very diverse school, which provides a good education at a reasonable price, that gives young adults the same opportunities as higher priced schools.

Rachel

I love everything about my school. I met some of the greatest friends I'll ever have, I enjoy the professors and the help I get from anyone to whom I ask a question, and I also enjoy the events that the school schedules for the student body.

Christina

Once you get into your major the classes are small and intimate and you get to know the teachers and classmates extremely well.

John

Probably the best would be the faculty student interaction. You really get to know your professors here and I think that makes for a much better experience. It makes you feel like they have an interest in you and it helps you do better in school.

Tawni

The professors are great. They always grab my attention in lectures and make me want to search for more information after lectures.

Mariana

There are lots of options for majors, there's always help, it is challanging without feeling overwheling and there are various things to do. The campus is just the right size and there are just enough people so it's not too small or too big.

Amy

I would have to say the size is the best thing about my school. It is a large university, however small enough to be able to walk across campus. Most professors will know who you are, so you are not just another number in their grade book.

Nicole

I consider the staff and sevices offered on campus to be the best thing about my school. The campus offers services for students including Advisors, Career Counseling, Career Fairs, Student Counseling Services, and a Medical health service to all full time students, included in the cost of your tuition. These services are great and I have learned that they offer very useful information and help when needed. The staff is very friendly and the services are provided promptly when needed. Students at my school are encouraged to attend lectures and utilize these services because the campus promotes these services.

Justina

ISU is a very open community where there is always opportunity for personal expression, whether be individual or through a group.

Margaret

The best thing about my school is how friendly everyone is. I love our campus and the things that go on. I love that all of our buildings are located in a central area which is around our quad. When its nice out you can see so many people doing a variety of things on our quad, from frisbee, to someone playing the guitar, football, people studying together. Our campus is always full of life.

Amy

There are a lot of people that attend the university, yet it still has a small school feeling. I also love that practically the whole town is college students. And everything is conveniently located on-campus.

Mike

I have yet to attend this school since I am just transferring. From what I've seen and known, it is a large but friendly school. It is in Central Illinois away from the city and suburbs, so it has that country and small town atmosphere to it.

Jeremy

very small, I like that because I can interact with the professor more often

Michelle

I like ISU because it's a good school for a good price and the campus is really compact.

Olivia

The community: the people are really nice.
