Home … No Matter Where You’re From!  

At Eastern Illinois University, we believe that every student deserves to feel at home no matter how far they’ve traveled.

EIU has a long tradition of helping students reach their goals through excellent academic programs and strong personal support.

Our international students often say that the community in Charleston, Illinois, is warm and welcoming. From your first day on campus, you’ll find people who care about you, support your dreams, and make EIU feel like your home away from home.
