Illinois State University (ISU) Courses and Fees 2025

I wish it was a bit more in-depth at times as courses often focus on the philosophy of subject matter rather than it's real-world applications. However, I do love how ISU has helped me broaden my horizons and open up to new ideas about history, art, and people in general.

Fees are generally about $1000 a semester with most going towards the athletic department. Other fees help supplement campus improvement, health, and RSO funding. The only place I see not benefiting from the fees are the fine arts which is rather unfortunate.

I really think it is well rounded and gives students a lot of transferable skills. I found that the courses were challenging but that the professors wanted students to succeed and helped as much as they could!

The fees are about 1000 a semester but vary depending on how many credits you are taking. Students get many random charges.

I think the course curriculum is very organized and set up in the best way possible for students to achieve a successful learning experience in the classroom. Everything we learn is information that is beneficial towards our career field.

The only fees I've paid here have been the tuition, housing, club fees and anything additional that I would need.

I like the options that are available. Although I feel that the university could provide students with more classes that could expand their education rather than requiring some that take away. Some of the Gen Ed's should be reconsidered.

Tuition and books and other parking passes and such are required from the students. It is rather expensive to bring a car to school and even for guests to find parking can be costly. Getting around could be less expensive.
