    This college use to be a really great place to learn but now it is slowly losing funding. Instead they are wasting their money buying freshman iPads.This is just to reel you in.

    SIUC is a beautiful college located in a small town. In many ways it resembles Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I am very excited to pursue an education here in Illinois!

    Southern Illinois University Carbondale is outstanding for the full time working military/civilian person. They have personal and knowledgeable instructors who want to help and want to see you succeed. I love the fact that they have a designated person in the local area who handles all finances and reports who is easily contacted, and she has so far made my experience throughout the year run smoothly with no worries-stress free!

    SIUC has a beautiful campus. Getting involved as soon as I walked onto campus was one of my greatest decisions thus far. Success comes easily at this school if you are willing to try.
