"I chose to attend EIU because of the fantastic art facilities available and the knowledgeable professors in both the art and World Languages departments. I also wanted smaller class sizes, and somewhere that's still close to home. EIU has proven to be the perfect fit for me, and I can't imagine myself anywhere else."
