The professors make Illinois College. They truly care about every student that steps foot on campus. All of the professors there have the potential to be a mentor to anyone and they will take time out of their busy schedules to make sure every student gets the help that they ask for. Not only do the professors care about how well a student performs in the classroom, they also care about a student's well-being. They will go out of their way to assist any student who is struggling with home-sickness, social issues, and any other problems.

The proximity to everything in town. Movie theaters, shopping, the arts.

The at home feeling you can have on campus through it being such a tightly knit campus community.
Ross
Our campus is compact. You can walk it lengthwise in about 5 minutes. Our professors are always nearby and more than willing to help. It has many academic buildings open late for the night owls which is great.

I like the small size of Illinois College. Only 1,000 students attend the college allowing a low student to teacher ratio. This is helpful to me as I am on a scholarship at the school and must keep a high GPA. Teachers care about students, and it shows.

I feel like the best thing about Illinois College is the faculty. The faculty at Illinois College is vary caring. Since it is a small campus the professors know the students by first name, they are always available to talk, and they are willing to help students out as much as possible. I feel like the professors here at Illinois College are very generous people, who truly care for their students well being. The professors honestly want to see success out of their students.

I think the best thing about my school is the small classes. It gives students more time with the teacher and makes it feel more personal.
Alexander
Illinois College has a small campus, and this allows for maximum interaction between students in every class, and between classes also. It also allows very close relationships with professors, making it really easy to communicate and learn when struggling with certain topics. It is small, but not so small that there is no one new to meet walking around, there are always new people to see and meet, and more friends to make.

It's size that counts! Knowing my classmates' first names and the professors knowing my name makes for a very cozy enivronment. Not only do the professors know my name, but there is enough personal interaction between staff and students that I am comfortable to discuss any questions, concerns, and future goals. I like feeling like I'm very much part of the equation.
