... short walk. I plan to be involved in many university functions and to spend a lot of time at the student recreation center, and I find the closeness of everything on the campus one of EIU's most outstanding features.
Another attractive feature of the residence halls is the overall atmosphere in them and the friendliness of the people at EIU. I have visited some of the halls and they all seemed like very comfortable and relaxed places to live, like a second home. When I was there everyone was very nice and outgoing.

... children who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to
their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to
a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents. Crime
