Review of Benedictine College

from Andover, MN

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Since Benedictine is a Liberal Arts School there are classes that you have to take to get your degree. These classes helped me to explore my options and not just to take classes in my field of interest. By taking these classes I learned that I liked things that I thought I wouldn’t. They made me step out of my comfort zone and to grow and become more well rounded.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Everyone at Benedictine has made me feel so welcome. I made so many friends and made so many memories. The teachers were always there to help whenever I had any questions. I loved all the activities the school offered to help students adjust to being at school. I love being at Benedictine and miss it and all my friends so much when I leave to go home.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Being a Catholic College Benedictine is a little expensive. But I feel like it was one of the cheaper Catholic schools I was looking at. Benedictine also offers a ton of scholarships that bring down the tuition to a very reasonable price. The experience, both personal and academic, were so wonderful that I feel the school is worth the price.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved early. There are so many opportunities for you to join clubs or organizations. By joining a club or organization it almost feels like you are joining a family and you will have those friends forever. At Benedictine you will make lifelong friends and the more you open up and put yourself out there the more fun you will have. Benedictine host dances and other activities a lot. That is where I met almost all my friends I had for the whole year. Just remember that you are there for school, so study and try hard, but have fun too.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Benedictine is good for anyone that wants a good education. Also if you are looking to grow in your faith life Benedictine is good for you because there are constant opportunities to learn more about your faith and to practice it in everyday life.
