[quote=Anonymous]Very few from my Lake County high school in Illinois attended Southern Illinois. The one who did attended their aviation program, which made a lot of sense. Remember Carbondale is a six hour drive from Chicago. Illinois public universities have different stories as to their enrollment declines. SIU used to be a funky, anything goes kind of place. It attracted an eclectic mix of faculty and people, including Buckminster Fuller. I think that they have lost that culture and have to compete in a declining population base. They used to have nationally competitive sports teams - not so much now. Need to look at their specific programs. Illinois is largely flat and featureless. This is not the case in the Carbondale Marion metro area. The Garden of the Gods is nearby and is quite chilly and geologically unique. [/quote]
