A word to the wise...

Why I chose UIS:

  • I chose UIS because of the small campus size and because the professors seemed like they really wanted to get to know their students (and they do).

Best part of going to college:

  • I think the best part is getting to meet people that you’re not used to.

Biggest fear about college:

  • I was most afraid of getting a horrible roommate, but my roommate and I actually ended up getting along really well.

Where I see myself in 10 years:

  • I have no idea, and I think I like it that way.

Random memory of campus life:

  • In the residence hall some friends and I actually staged a pillow fight and took pictures. That was pretty random.

    Two students mock-pillowfighting in the residence hall.

Best thing about UIS:

  • The best thing about UIS is that it’s small enough for you to get involved and get to know other students easily. If you want to spread your wings and fly, this is a great university to come to.
