Western Illinois University (WIU) Reviews and Ratings

• Before coming to college, I have checked online on the Apartments.com website, where they list out all the apartments surrounding the college.
• Other than that, we can find groups on whatsapp or facebook to find about accomodations. The rent was pretty affordable and decent.
• I would say less when compared to other cities in Illinois. Rent depends on the apartments we choose, the cost would vary with a small amount. Parking, trash, repairs was free.
• I did not find accommodation right away, but we need to look for more options.
• I would recommend not to stick to only apartments where Indians are more. That is the place where the challenges come. The university is a public university and the city is mostly covered by the University.
• All the apartments are found within the campus itself and therefore it is easy to attend the classes.
• There is also a shuttle facility which is free for students and there are apps, where we can track the bus timings and the present location.
• For me, Macomb, IL is always a home. Though we find the city very small in the beginning, but it is the safest and peaceful place to live.
   

Money and scholarships given were quite a bit of help and also I went on a tour and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It was a nice community and I liked the set up of the campus and the professors that I met.
