Southern Illinois University-Carbondale Top Questions

What should every freshman at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale know before they start?

Aukeema

I would definitely tell them to arrange a campus visit to get a realistic grasp of what facilities and extracurricular activities the school has to offer,to have their own personal feel for the campus and the student body. It is also important,which a lot of people over look,to examnie the community surrounding the school and its accessibility from the school. I would also advise them to talk with some of the student body perferably someone with the same major as the student. Ask them how the college is assisting them in achieving their goals in life and if the faculty and instructors are open to giving them assistance to help them along with their curriculum. Mostly importantly forget about how well known or the rank of a school because neither of these thing can tell you whether or not a school is a perfect fit for you because you can go to an ivy league school and still not feel like you're a part of the university and at the end of the day that is what is most important.
