What Students Are Saying

Pushes you hard enough without killing you.
Mariam from Nigeria
EIU has its "Pine Honors" program, which limits its classroom sizes to 18 people. If you're looking for a good education, you can definitely find it here.
Jaime from Chicago, IL
The honors college is very challenging and helps student look at the world critically from many points of views. Normal classes do the same, just with a larger amount of students.
