Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

This college is way beyond its time in terms of diversity, inclusion, and racial equality. I did my masters here. It was a wonderful experience. Dr. Serdar Çelik is a hidden gem. So much wisdom and care.

I have been a student since 2016 and have enjoyed my time as an undergrad and grad student.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful!!! Several people were outside taking photos and having fun. The campus is very nice as well. Highly recommend this place for any kind of photo shoot!!!!

I love SIUE! I’ve been studying on and off since 2011- as I’ve taken time off to stay at home with my children. The professors are extremely qualified and intelligent- and work incredibly hard to help everyone learn as much as they can in a semester. In fact the majority of my professors are some of my favorite people. If you go in willing to do the work and learn as much as possible, it’ll happen. The library isn’t expansive but if you need a text someone will help you find it somehow (online, pdf, or loaned from elsewhere). The campus is beautiful and majority of people you will encounter are friendly, kind, and helpful (it’s the second safest campus in Illinois). I spend the majority of my time in Peck hall, and have grown to think of it as a second home.

*The one bane of my existence is parking. I don’t know who to speak to, but I fervently believe that parking should be free. Especially the red pass parking out in the middle of nowhere. If parking lots and campus are half empty due to COVID there shouldn’t be any parking citations! THIS IS THE HILL I WILL DIE ON. If I can find someone willing to hear my grievance on this issue I will cry them a river, write them a declaration, sing them ballads, I will preach manifestos in the quad- 👏🏻quit 👏🏻issuing 👏🏻citations 👏🏻 when 👏🏻 most👏🏻 classes 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 online 👏🏻 anyways👏🏻

Went check out the nature preserve nice trails good nature to photograph and a was introduced to a native tree I did not know was here the pawpaw will like to go and explore more. Down side not the best parking
