The type of person that should attend this school should be one that is self motivated, returning to school after being in the work force, traditional college students, students interested in greek life, those that are interested in volunteering and community service, and basically any student wiling to put in the work for a quality college education and university experience. Anyone of any age and from any socio-economic background should consider SIUE.
Matt
Students who want to focus on acedemics. The social atmosphere leaves much to be desired. It is easy to make friends if you are good at that sort of thing, but otherwise it's fairly difficult.
Krista
A very open minded person should attend this school. We explore a lot of life experiances at SIUE and it really helps to be open minded so the student can learn as much as possible.
Matthew
If you are the type of person who wants a quiet set, easy going academic experience, then this may be the college for you. The Greek life on campus is somewhat diverse in that it has both Interfraternal and Panhellenic fraternities and sororities. However, within most (not all) of each fraternity/sorority consists of non-diverse groups. In other words, for example, African American fraternities/sororities nearly only consist of African Americans (similarly with "mostly white" fraternities/sororities.) It is very seldom that you will find racially mixed fraternities/sororities. However, other organizations are diverse.

The kind of person who should attend should be able to place acadimics first. But should also enjoy a viarity of social events held on campus. There's never a dull moment here. On top of that, you'll gain real world experance through projects on and off campus.
Jennifer
Someone who wants a close knit kind of community.
Mary
Friendly, enagaged students
Sara
There are a lot of commutiers and a lot of Hindu kids here. Pretty much anyone *can* come here though. As it is a relatively safe campus and there are a lot of clubs that one person may join.

I believe the type of person who should attend SIUE should be the person who wants to work and get a good education. They should not expect a huge drinking type of school, yes there is drinking, but not compared to other places. If they are the type who would like to have a home type feeling, this is there school.
Josiah
an average student who wants to work hard and improve their education over a community college.
