"I mainly chose to attend EIU for its affordability and its short distance from my hometown. Additionally, I wanted to go to a smaller university with a good student to faculty ratio. I think that EIU is a great school for those like me who are more comfortable in rural communities as opposed to the city life."Lauren ClarkEnglish with a concentration in professional writing | Class of 2026
