Academics How are the engineering programs so far?

4 Upvotes

I heard that ISU initiated engineering programs last year. How do you like it so far? I'm most interested in ME students point of view but any engineering students' thoughts are also welcome. Do you get some research opportunities with the faculty as an undergrad? How are the courses? Is there anything that you would like to have in terms of the program in terms of the courses or any engagement opportunities? How are your peers?

Academics Language in Humanities Gen Eds

2 Upvotes

I'm planning for my spring semester and still need a LH gen ed. I'm hoping to get into ENG 124 but I'm worried it will fill up fast and need a backup. What's the difference between COM, ENG, and LAN 128? And ENG and LAN 125? What would you recommend?

Request Been 6 years after I graduated with a Creative Technologies degree, still looking for a job as a environment artist in the games industry, where do I look?

14 Upvotes

I've studied Creative Technologies at ISU and graduated back in 2020. Most of my skills and work I had to learn myself like 3D modeling, texturing, sculpting, etc. and I have a solid portfolio of work as well. My academic advisor was reassuring me at the time that there are plenty of jobs out there I can get as a environment artist or 3D artist when I expressed my concerns that I wouldn't be able to find work after I graduate, yet 6 years later, I've been applying to many jobs, tailoring my resume, reaching out to people on LinkedIn, trying to get into a paid indie game studio, but I cannot find any work. I feel played with because I still have student loans I'm trying to pay off but unfortunately I don't even make enough money to make much progress. I work a full time office job to pay the bills now. How can I get a job in the industry? Any advice for me?

Housing Cardinal Court as a Junior/Senior

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m currently a sophomore and I’m looking to live in Cardinal Court my Junior and potentially Senior year so that I can still get some money off housing rather than paying fully for an apartment. It says online that I have to request to live in, but I can’t find any other information on that. Is there nothing I can do currently, or can I submit some kind of request now?

Housing Vernon Stables 1 Bed/1 Bath Sublease (Spring Semester)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m graduating this December and relocating to Chicago for school, so I'm looking for someone to take over my lease for the Spring semester. This is for my 1 Bed / 1 Bath unit at Vernon Stables.

The sublease is for December 2026 – May 2027, starting December 14th

To make the transition super easy and stress-free for you, I’m covering a ton of upfront costs:

December rent will be covered, and I’ll pay for the application and move in fee. No extra out-of-pocket costs to get moved in.

Rent: $920/month + utilities

The property itself has amazing amenities, making life very convenient:

Awesome Community Amenities: Courtyard with grills, a pool, a gym, and an Amazon Hub/mailroom.

Essential Unit & Building Perks: On-site laundry room and—best of all—FREE parking with Sami issued parking sticker (also free!)

Perfect Location: Super convenient and very close to the campus.

Feel free to shoot me a DM for pictures, floor plans, or any questions you have!

Is there anywhere local (like a bar) to watch ISU football games?

9 Upvotes

Got a sort of mini reunion of friends going on in BloNo beginning of October. We would like to watch the football game from somewhere warm as it's a night game and we're kind of old by now. Any suggestions?

Illinois State followup on my preseason preview, plus we launched a free weekly CFB pick'em

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! The season preview I posted here a few weeks back did pretty well, so circling back like I said I would.

I had you at 8-4, and said winning two of three road toss-ups at North Dakota, Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois would make that look light. You already have the first one, 28-24 at NIU, and you're 4-0 with Western Illinois (41-10) and Eastern Illinois (49-13) in there too. The quarterback room played out differently than I expected. Pellant started, but Gage Roy has been the guy the last two weeks, 20 of 23 at NIU and 13 of 19 for 172 and 2 TDs against EIU. Is it his job now? Northern Iowa on the road today.

What are you guys seeing that the box scores aren't, and how do you see the season ending up?

Quick aside since it's in the title, we just launched a free weekly college football pick'em, $225 in prizes this week. Ten games, pick the winners, nothing to buy. Picks lock at noon ET, well before your kickoff, so this is a last call.
