I was wondering if someone could give me info on EIU and how it is there.

My daughter is a senior at EIU. She loves the school. Charleston is a small town in the middle of a corn field, basically, which for some might be a downside. The campus is nice - very compact. The baseball field is a small stadium type field, very quaint. I don't know much else about the baseball program or coach... when we did investigate, I seem to remember they didn't have a winning program.
One great thing about EIU - you do not buy your books. The cost of renting your textbooks is in your tuition - as long as you return them, you pay nothing. It's a great program - wish more schools would do the same.

I am a 1997 EIU grad. I consider it the best time of my life. Dollar for dollar, you cant get a better education in the state. Its a great school if you pla
sorry, my 2 year old got to the keyboard......
Its a great shool if you plan on going into education or any sort of business setting after college.
I didnt play for ball there, but I know taht Coach Schmidt runs a tight ship. He expects a lot out of you and you will work harder than you have ever worked before. I know some guys loved it and some guys hated it. Its a great place to get an education, nonetheless.

It is a fine school but they dont seem to win much in baseball.
I do know that ole sweaty wont like them, they recruit lots of people and then it gets narrowed down because kids go to places that may be better for baseball, think the edu is good, price is big though I think.

They have started to recruit the southern part of the state quite a bit more now and have signed some high quality players. As far as education it is a great school. I didnt go there but several of my friends did.
will right now im at lincoln trail college in robinson, Il and Coach Hannahs is a great coach and he really knows how to work us, as will as making it fun too. thank you for your imput, it was helpful.
Two guys I played summer ball with went there and played. Brian Hantosh and Pete Pirman (Pete was conference player of the year in 02 I believe) THey both had great things to say about the program and the coaching staff...as far as the school....my cousin just graduated from there a year ago and loved it...best bang for your buck and good academics (and its a state school so expect to party!) Charleston isnt the best area, I went to ISU and I think Bloomington/Normal is one of the best areas around a instate school...but overall ive heard great things
