The Students of course.. the students really do make the school. As soon as you walk on campus you get a ISU Redbirds vibe. It feels really good to be a Redbird

The town of Normal, IL was actually given it's name because of ISU. ISU used to be known as Illinois State Normal University. "Normal" meaning it was a teacher's college. Today, ISU is still widely known for its education departments and preparing individuals to be great teachers :)

The best thing about my school is the amount of homework help- the building I will be living in this year is also home to an academic center where many students go for tutoring sessions in calculus, chemistry, or even for help in defeating procrastination.

The academic programs are very tailored for your specific major. The counselors are very knowdelgable and helpful in planning your courses to fulfill your requirements for your majoy. The campus is close-knit and user-friendly. The campus community is active in many organizations and groups. I enjoy attending ISU and would recommend it to my friends.

I love that my University is very diverse! I also love that my school opens many new opportunities for me to take advantage of! Whether it is a new club or activity I can try, a class that i never thought of taking- I feel like I am always trying something new. Illinois State University has, in just one short year, opened so many doors for me, and made me realize that I had been living a sheltered life.

I think the best thing about my school is it has great diversity. I know that every school has different races and ethnicities, but Illinois State University has many programs and activities for everyone to get to know eachother and make our school closer. Having many different people around you, will get you ready for the real world. Many of the people attending this school have only been around people like themselves. Highschool does not really have a wide vareity of people, but starting my college experience here has really brought many different races and ethicities into my life.

Illinois State Univesity is a very large university, but the best thing about it is that it has the feel of a small private college.
