Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville Reviews

"Unfortunately the mba program was extension of undergrad study with mostly busy work to consume time. Having worked in executive level positions for twenty years was looking for something that would provide professional value. The educators are primarily teachers and not business professionals. Program was disappointing."

"SIUe has an excellent business school if that's what you like. Honestly, I think SIUe is very proud of their business programs. I never had any issues with any of the professors, and I found them helpful when I needed help. The business school has a separate three-story building located on campus. Classes are in many sizes. For basic courses like the intro to marketing or macro and microeconomics, you will find yourself in a lecture hall with many many students. Later your junior and senior year you can count on smaller class sizes. SIUe business school praises on group projects. My junior and senior year pretty much in all courses I had at least one group project. There is even a particular class that consists of four projects, and they are all group projects. So if you love group projects, you surely going to get a lot of them.Read Less"

"This program was so amazing. The professors really care about their students and offer the utmost assistance on anything and everything. Their goal is to make sure you succeed so as long as you put in the effort it will all pay off. I'm so happy I chose this school because it really helped me mature and make the most responsible decisions for my future."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Elementary Education program at Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville. The campus is incredibly beautiful. On occasion, I would be walking to my car from class and come across a herd of deer grazing. During the fall, the trees and grounds are covered with shades of gold, red, and brown. Truly stunning. As for the Elementary Education program itself, I really appreciated the dedication of the staff. During my time in the program, the requirements for certification were shifting and I felt like everyone was doing their best to inform and prepare us. The professors were as diverse as they come and experts in their respective fields. The program was also very informative on outside opportunities and experiences like volunteering in after school programs in St. Louis. Throughout the program there were workshops to educate us on supplementary information that may not have been provided in the core classes. And lastly, my student teaching experiences were incredible. They make sure to place you in different grade levels in different communities. For example, I was placed in an eighth grade class in a rural community, a third grade class in an urban community, and a fifth grade class in a suburban community. The Elementary Education program at SIUE is truly excellent.Read Less"

"My college experience was definitely challenging. I initially wanted to go to pharmacy school, but applied to multiple schools on two separate occasions and didn't get in. Afterwards, I decided to grad school which I enjoyed even more than undergrad. The classes were more specific to my discipline and I really enjoyed my research that I did."

"Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is great for those interested in pursuing a specialized field - SIUe is known for its School of Engineering, Nursing, and Pharmacy. Positioned in close proximity to St. Louis, SIUe provides many opportunities to gain experience through fellowships, internships, and more."

"Helped me get the education needed to be competitive in the market place. It gave me the chance to network and meet people I would not have the chance to meet if I didn't attend. It gave me the basic skills and abilities to solve problems that helped me to get to where I am today."

"The school is reasonably priced. Some teachers give you a lot of busy work"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the RN-BSN program. This program was manageable while working full time and with 4 children. The instructors were easily accessible as well as understanding and committed to the success of the student. Assignments were clear and graded in a timely fashion. I truly believe that this program is well worth your time and money, and what I gained from the program was definitely applicable to my current career. Actual nursing school was a 10 on a 1-5 in terms of difficulty and time, this RN-BSN program was a 2.5 on a 1-5.Read Less"

"I enjoyed my experience. I feel like they have listened to students recently by turning classes into 8 week courses with a hybrid format."

"Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine is a great school to attend if pursuing a career in dentistry. SIU prepares their students to be compassionate, skillful, and excellent dentists who are ready to help improve oral health of individuals throughout the midwest."

"It was an easy program that got me prepared for my future."

"I thought SIUE was a wonderful college. I commuted for all four years and found it to be a very commuter friendly campus, as well as an easy campus to live on. I also worked on campus at the library. It was my first job and it was a wonderful job to have while I was going through my degree. My professors all made time to see me when I had questions and they had good, practical experience in the fields they were teaching. I am so glad I chose SIUE."

"Decent college. Some professors show more passion than others. Good software agreements (Like getting Visual Studios for free). I feel as though my education was worth while and even out of years out of college I still remember what I learned."

"Great school with advisors& instructors that are honest & willing to help. They have a great Nursing program. I would definitely recommend this program to students ready to enter college as well as adults that are returning to school. I received a great education for a reasonable price."

"College is hugely enriching and a worthwhile investment of you time, focus, and money. Major in something you find interesting, not something you anticipate will be lucrative."

"SIUE and the EDAD program is great for working teachers. The courses work well around teachers/coaches schedules and the teachers do a great job preparing the students for administration. I would recommend this program to any teacher or coach wanting to pursue administration"
