WHAT I LIKED
I like the involvement and dedication of staff and faculty members in the lives of the students. There is a strong support system at Eastern Illinois, both among students and administration.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
There can sometimes be a lack of communication between departments at the school. In some instances, it very quickly becomes the student's duty to check-in, request status updates, etc.
