Hey all, been looking at a few colleges and Eastern Illinois University came up. I'm not from the US, so a bit unsure. Where exactly is it located in Illinois?
Eastern Illinois University is located in Charleston, Illinois. Charleston is in the eastern part of the state, hence the name, and it's a small town with a friendly community atmosphere. It's about 180 miles south of Chicago, the state's largest city and you can reach St. Louis, Missouri in about 2.5 hours driving west. Closest bigger cities are Champaign and Springfield, both an hour or so away. This location provides a balance between peaceful small-town living and access to larger city amenities. Plus, it's strategically positioned in the midwest allowing for many weekend trip possibilities.
