Eastern Illinois University (EIU) will host an open house Oct. 10, featuring a complimentary look at the campus, its services and course offerings intended for prospective students.
The event is hosted by the Office of Admissions and aims to give future students an inside look into the residence halls and Greek Court, a chance to meet faculty and student service staff members, housing staff and current students, as well as speak to financial aid officers and finish it all off with lunch in one of the dining halls.
