"I visited EIU in the Fall semester of 2023 with my grandma and my best friend, and I immediately fell in love with it. Naturally, Old Main was the first building I saw, standing tall for anyone in the Charleston-Mattoon area to see when they're nearby. ... While waiting for my tour to begin, we made our way to the bookstore in the MLK Union, and my grandma bought an "EIU Grandma" sweatshirt because she knew I was pretty set on Eastern."Baily CookClass of 2028, English with emphases in Professional and Creative Writing major
