    I had a wonderful and valuable experience at WIU. I found most of the teachers excellent and truly interested in their students. Tracy's comments are just plane wrong and hearsay. Don't believe them. The only thing I wish they had was job assistance for after graduation.

    I want to know why do they change up so much with counselors, yes I am a student online and it's hard to keep faxing the same stuff over and over, and not only that they treat you like an nobody. One student told me that a teacher told her that we are going to school for nothing due to that piece of paper means nothing to them, they only want the money! In my case, I don't feed into hear say but WIU online making it hard believe not to believe it!!!
