I have learned so much already from ISU. I came to school having no idea what I wanted to do and no direction towards any specific career path. Illinois State helped me figure this out quickly my freshman year through its variety of General Education classes. It really opened my eyes to all of the options you have once you begin your education here.

    ISU at first was scary after going to a local community college because it was so much bigger, but my first semester there was great. I love the teachers, and I have made so many friends. Everyone truly takes an interest in your education as long as you put in the effort.

    Illinois State School deserves a four star rating! The academics, campus, and overall atmosphere is grade A. I just wish there was more unity among the minorities with the majority!
