"I had visited EIU on a college trip, and immediately felt a pull to the campus. I enjoyed the small campus feel and how many resources were available for new students. Although it was a scary experience leaving home, I felt much better knowing EIU had opportunities for me to find community."Abby GamboaComputer Science | Class of 2026
