Hostel:

I've only lived in the dorms thus far and for the most part, they are kept clean and I feel very safe here. Manchester/Hewitt is definitely my favourite and tends to have the least issues. My only warning is that off-campus rental companies are often predatory and can sell your property to other companies without consequences.

ISU is a large school with a small-town feel. Uptown is incredibly safe and comfortable to walk through with charming shops and a lively atmosphere. The quad is beautiful and has every kind of tree native to Illinois. Moreover, at ISU there is something for everyone. It's a very accepting community and I feel very at home here.

This college has a well known and competitive psychology degree. I knew after coming here I would get a great education. I checked out the campus and loved it and the overall environment. Everyone was really friendly and also the vibe was really great!

Hostel:

For the first 3 years, I lived in a dorm. The first two years are required and the third year I chose to stay simply because I didn't mind it and dorms pretty much provide everything you need. I now live in an apartment and I love it.

The program I was interested in was one of the best. I talked to many teachers and parents that went to ISU and they all said really great things about the program I was going into and the school itself.

Hostel:

I have an on-campus apartment through the university because underclassmen are required to live through university housing. I believe that it is a way too expensive as I am paying over $1000 a month to live with 3 other people and share 2 bathrooms between us. There are cheaper housing options in the area but they are unattainable for me at this point in time.

The business program was reviewed really well. I wanted to be close to home also because I'm only an hour away. I liked the campus as well and the atmosphere was very welcoming. I liked how it was small but not too small.
