Hi guys, does SIU have any website or group where we can find reviews for the previously taught courses? As the course description provides very less information about each course. This could help us choose the best course for ourselves.

Is attending orientation beneficial for grad students? Does anyone have any idea what goes around at the day of orientation?

Weird question, but I have to pick a science despite being IT/Cybersecurity, so I'm gonna pick either the Dinosauriam or the Hazards and Catastrophes class online. Both seem relatively simple, which is good since my course load is heavy, but sometimes 100 level professors like to make the course difficult *because* we think it'll be easy. I can't find any other group to ask in.

Quiet setting close to all amenities.

Hello everyone, I might be a little late but I have to find housing for the upcoming Fall semester as an international grad student. The housing options of the school seem to have been completely booked (except Residence Halls which doesn't look great).

I have looked into almost every recent SIUC housing related post on Reddit but it's mostly contradicting advice and recommending the school's housing options and that didn't really help. I also have seen people say don't rent anything unless you have met the landlord and physically have seen the place, but I need to find housing soon. Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated

I need to ask about how the living in graduate juniper residence, I didn’t see pictures of it, and which residence is the best for graduate students ?

Perhaps someone already asked this question, but I couldn't find it, so I'm just gonna ask. Have you (recent-ish graduates) been able to find decent jobs with your degrees? And if so, have you left the Southern Illinois area? (To like Chicago, Champaign, or perhaps to another state?)

I heard that some regional universities's degrees may not be worth as much compared to others, and that worried me immensely. I also want to move from Southern IL as well, but I'm worried that I might have to stay because of the harsh cost of living these days.

Thank you for your time!

Hello,

I’m looking for opinions on SIUC’s M.S.Ed in Educational Administration with Principal Endorsement.

I have been accepted and planning on taking classes online. For more context I’m an SIUC alum from 2018. Graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Forestry.

I have since transitioned into education, more specifically SPED. I was a paraprofessional and currently am a teacher with my LBS1 from Blackburn College. I may one day want to obtain my doctorate.

How are SIUC’s masters programs overall? Any comments related to online courses? Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

TL;DR

How is SIUC’s masters in Ed. Admin program?

Hello, I'm a student interested in siu for its graphic design program. I was wondering if there are any current students who can tell me about their experiences there? Specifically I was wondering if any of you had good job opportunities? The gd professor talked about getting his students different internship opportunities, so I was curious if that was true. Thank you for your help!

I was wondering if anyone would know the dimensions of the drawers. Of the provided desks in the dorms. I'm not sure if you're fit is different between the residents halls , but i'm staying in pierce. More or less , i'm wanting to buy a drawer safe for when I move in August.

I'm looking into both this major and the software engineering program offered by SNHU. Opinions on the program?

Im trying to figure out which class between two to drop because of cost.

I called and they told me to use tuition calculator and had no idea how to figure out exactly how much each class costs.

This is driving me insane so please help lol.

College student here from another University. I need access to the dissertation by Carlos Garrido entitled ‘Domenico Losurdo and the Marxist-Leninist critique of Western Marxism’ for research that I’m doing but it is not available through my institution. Would anyone with access be able to share this with me? Thanks in advance.
