"I chose to attend EIU for a few different reasons. ... I enjoy a smaller school feel, especially because of the connections and opportunities that such an environment allows for. On that note, I also chose EIU because I knew that this school would allow me to pursue everything that I hope to get out of college."Mary GraffClass of 2026, English and Theatre major
