What is there to do around Eastern Illinois University?
I grew up near Charleston and have two degrees from Eastern. If you want to go to college be willing to study and complete your courses and degree(s) on time. If you can do the required studying and make the grades the first year or two then that frees you up to have more free time to investigate the area around Charleston. Charleston is a small city but Eastern is a great university. There are a lot of historic sites as well as other interesting places to visit around Charleston. With a car you can travel around the area within two hours and see much more. Use the internet to find the exact places which may interest you. A lot of the sites around Charleston are on the theme of President Lincoln.
