Review: Illinois State University, founded in 1857, is the oldest public university in Illinois; it is located in the town of Normal. ISU is a "National University," which grants a variety of doctoral degrees and strongly emphasizes research and is recognized one of the top ten largest producers of teachers in the US according to the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education. The ISU athletic teams are members of the Missouri Valley Conference and the Missouri Valley Football Conference and are known as the "Redbirds," in reference to the state bird, the cardinal. Illinois State is also home to one of the world's tallest residence halls, Watterson Towers. Standing just shy of 300 feet (91 m), its massive capacity allows it to house over 2,200 students. The building, which consists of a pair of towers, was completed in 1967.
