"I chose to attend Eastern IL University because it offered the perfect balance of affordability, proximity to home, and academic quality. Coming from Windsor, IL, staying close to home mattered to me-not only for financial reasons, but also because my support system is here. ... It felt like the right environment to build my future."Lauren HendershotClass of 2026, Chemistry major
