What Students Are Saying
The University of Illinois at Springfield is a great school. It is located in the rural section of Illinois. It has a very friendly environment and it's a great place to learn.
Omar from Aurora, IL
UIS is a small campus in central Illinois which gives it it's warm and welcoming atmosphere with professors that are willing to help. This newer campus was constructed with accessibility and safety in mind combining the use of user friendly technology/warning systems and underground walkways connecting the main buildings on campus which double as storm shelters. Even though it is considered the smaller campus of the U of I system, it is always looking to expand and improve course offerings and I am glad I chose UIS.
Michael from Shelbyville, IL
Small class size and small campus. An easy walk from one side of campus to another. Get involved right away during welcome week. If you manage your time and your classes then you will be fine.
