    Comments

    The University does not care about graduate students, they recently razed 1 of the 2 grad student apts to make a new complex for undergrads who already have 10 dorms. They do not even run shuttle services when the undergrads are not in campus

    Pros

    Priced right. Small classroom size. Professors who invested as much in as you as you did their class. Beautiful campus in the heart of a decent size city, with all the amenities a Chicago suburb native could want.

    Cons

    May be to much of a Greek school for some.

    Comments

    Some of the best years of my life. Got into top rated master's program after graduating from ISU.

    Professors are the best! Curriculum is rigorous and current with today's trends.
