EIU is great… town, not so much.

Like so many small towns there is life beyond the fast food restaurants and gas stations on the main drag in Charleston. Go north a few blocks and you’ll find a small but charming town square with restaurants, shops, bars and a movie theatre.

Psh, I’ve been everywhere in this town in the four years I have lived here. Its the attitude of the people here, how much they hate the college students.
Its the dying “charming” town square—there is almost nothing there. The movie theatre smells like cat piss and there isn’t even a bakery. I need real ethnic food, not a Chinese Buffet and Americanized Mexican food.
I want racial diversity and less blind patriotism. I want a community that works with the university, rather than rejecting it.
