WHY I CHOSE SIU

"SIU's educational and athletic staff, the Dawg Pound, and the Carbondale community are extremely welcoming! There appears to be a close connection between Carbondale and SIU, which creates a special atmosphere. That, together with the academic and athletic opportunities on the soccer team, makes SIU the best university option for me."
