"I chose EIU because of how many of my past teachers have got their degrees from Eastern. I chose the best teacher college not only because of how close it is to home but how kind the staff was when I transferred from Lake Land. ... I love my professors and have made so many amazing and kind friends."Emma RossArt Education | Class of 2026
