Illinois State University

• 6 reviews

Graduate Student: I can't even imagine going to a different university. My experience there was great! I met my life long best friend and interacted with such amazing people. my professors were, overall, great people who didn't act like they were above anyone. The only complaint I had was the way the university handled sexual assault cases. I went to a meeting with the Title X people and their responses for how they appropriately handle speaking with sexual assault victims was extremely unimpressive and upsetting. I felt the need to question them intensely. Otherwise, campus was a great place to be!

Loyola University Chicago

• 20 reviews

Graduate Student: Loyola University Chicago is an engaging institution in high education. Rigorous coursework emphasizes theoretical and empirical applications of social science methods and ideas. Loyola University’s proximity to the City of Chicago has allowed me, a student in sociology, to extend learning beyond the classroom. One of the most important aspects of my graduate career at Loyola University has been the opportunity to do social science research in a variety of different topic areas. Loyola’s center for social science research, the Center for Urban Research and Learning has been an important component of my training as a sociologist and as a researcher. I have had the opportunity to collaborate on a variety of projects with numerous community partners such as the Cook Country Court Systems. As a student, I am joyed when learning can be used as a tool to address social problems and explore solutions that are proximal to community needs.

Southern Illinois University Carbondale

• Graduate School
• Carbondale, IL
• 9 reviews

Graduate Student: When starting out, I had a tough time navigating things and figuring out what I needed to to. Being first generation, I didn’t have anyone to talk to about the process aside from my boss at work. I asked A LOT of questions in the beginning which helped a lot, especially when it came to financial aid and the graduate assistanceship grant. I don’t qualify for the grant since I’m not on campus and doing an online hybrid program.
The professors take the time to get to know you, help you out, and point you in the right direction. They were also so helpful and supportive when it came to figuring out graduate school in and of itself. The academics are rigorous and set you up for success. I’m so happy with my choice of SIUC!

• Edwardsville, IL
• 4 reviews

Graduate Student: SIUe is a growing college. They used to be mostly a commuter school, but they offer in-state tuition for bordering states! The campus is beautiful and there is a wide variety of areas of study. I am in the biology program there, and the faculty are personable and genuinely want to help you succeed. They have multiple clubs you can join. The town of Edwardsville is not necessarily a college town, but it has everything that you need and more. I love SIU and would recommend it to anyone.

Graduate Student: I like the flexible scheduling and online options. I enjoy having a diverse student body to share perspectives with. I do wish that some of the professors were better prepared for some of the courses. Sometimes they use PowerPoints that were created by other professors that they don't understand and aren't able to explain well. Overall, I have had a good experience with Aurora and feel prepared to enter the workforce
