Illinois State is a very welcoming and friendly enviorment!

When I first visited ISU, it was a grey, rainy day, and we were given a presentation in Braden Auditorium, which looked terribly out-dated. All of the seats, carpet, and walls were the same disgusting orange color, and I sat there and thought to myself, "how can I go to a school for interior design that has such an ugly auditorium?!" In addition, walking around outside on a rainy day is always a bummer, so I had a general bad feeling about the school. Many of the buildings are old, but an equal number have been updated and are technologically advanced, which is something that you can't see unless you visit every building. To someone who has never seen ISU, upon first glance on a rainy day, it can look old and out-dated, but on a sunny day, it is quite the opposite.

Illinois State University has a wide and diverse body so students with enthusiastic and smart teachers and a great variety of activities to be a part of.

A medium-sized centralized quad, with lots and lots of trees and plenty of open walk ways! Oh yeah and a shoddy looking football stadium.

The town of Normal was built around the university. However, the campus is big, there are 6 dorms and 2 off campus apartment complexes. The Quad has all the academic building which are less than a 6 min walk to walk across the Quad. The Stadium and Arena are off campus a little but they are really nice. The library is 6 floors with multiple computer labs. There are many food vendors on campus such as Subway, Burger King, Jamba Juice, Freshens, Pizaa Hut, McClaister Deli, and Einestein Bros Bagels. The Rec Center is state of the art, with a rock wall, pool, basketball court, equipment, and there are classes you can to stay fit, operating hours are early early morining to late at night. Guess what... All these services are FREE to ISU students!!

Illinois State University is a smaller campus. You can walk from one end of campus to ther other in about ten minutes. There are several areas of residence halls. There is a beautiful quad where students can study, play games, and take pictures. The grounds committee does very well maintaining the quad's appearance. The quad is full of trees, one of every type of tree found in Illinois can be found on Illinois State University's campus. The quad is surrounded by academic buildings, so the setting feels like a small school. Two laps around the quad equals one mile. We have a castle on campus!! Illiniois' past governor, John Peter Altgeld loved the gothic-style castles. He had castles constructed on five Illinois University campuses. It is rumored that if these castles were aligned, they would form one huge castle. About a 3-5 minute walk from the quad will take you to the football field and Redbird Arena. Ober this way, there is also the Horton Field House, tri towers (residence halls), and a couple of academic buildings.
