At EIU, learning takes place away from the city in the countryside. This allows students to be less distracted by the noise and temptations of the big city. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, you will love studying here. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. EIU regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs.
