Southern Illinois University at Carbondale is unique to other schools in that it offers students hands on opportunities in research. Also there are a number of different programs that students can get into regarding their specific interests.

They are the only school that has the Saluki as there mascot. Plus, it is close to home, but far enough way to where I don't have to live with my parents.

It is located at the very bottome of Illinois so it gives you a feel of leaving in the south.

THE FACILITIES ARE PRETTY NEW AND USER FRIENDLY

The campus is very diverse, not just the students but the faculty. Also, there is always someone around who is completely willing to help you. They do not make you feel like your questions are ridiculous

The campus feels exclusive, even though it is part of the town - one doesn't feel that way. Also, the campus has its own woods, and its own lake - not many other colleges can boast of this. Staff here are always looking out for the students, they want everyone to succeed to their best abilities.

There is alot of informal interaction between the staff and students. It makes for a really unique experience being a new student there. You can really feel the amiable atmosphere everywhere on campus.

Although we are not the biggest school, we have the best attitude and passion. I truely believe that when you go to SIUC you can fit it anywhere and there is always someone to talk to, may that be someone from one of the many services they offer or just someone walking by. It has been said by many northern Illinois students that go to SIUC that the school and people in the community have a homestyle southern warmth. SIUC has something for everyone.

My campus has a state park in the center of it, which helps you to escape the stress you may have from school. Also the architectural program is fantastic. I have two family members that have graduated from the program and they loved it. I love how the teachers are very willing to help you and the graduate students get the opportunity to teach us which also helps them to further there knowledge in their fields. I feel very safe on campus there is a lot of security and no major threat of security.

My school has one of the best Landscape Horticulture programs around. Since that is what I want to do, I knew it was the right fit for me. Southern also has a fun, energetic atmosphere in a beautiful place that attracted me.
