Starting Graduate School is difficult enough without the additional stress of adapting to a new environment. To help ease your adjustment, A.E.G.I.S. has prepared this website of information which, for some reason, we can't seem to live without. Although these pages are far from comprehensive, they should give you a fair idea of what there is to do and see in the area, as well as cover some of the more mundane aspects of life in Carbondale.

If you have any questions, or need information about something that isn't covered in these pages, don't hesitate to contact your A.E.G.I.S. representatives, either in person or via email. We've been there. We understand. We'll do everything we can to help.
