I originally enrolled in Bradley University as a Dietetics Major but after a one on one sit down with the head of the Dietetics department during my orientation we decided the major was not for me. He recommended Nutrition and Wellness because it allowed me to learn most of the same information without having the focus of becoming a Dietitian, which is not what I wanted to be. After my first semester at Bradley I realized I made the right decision. I took Family Consumer Sciences along with the Dietetics Majors and I learned all the information they did.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Initially the change from such a large city environment to such a rural country town was very drastic for me and I missed the city. But after making many friends, some of which felt the same way, I found I was able to adjust to the change in environment rather well. A good thing about the campus is that it's only 3 or so hours from the city so whenever I missed hanging out downtown I just hopped on the Peoria Coach Charter and went home for the weekend. It's the perfect distance away, not too far but not too close either.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Since Bradley is a Private University it may seem on the expensive side but the money is well spent. You can definitely see the differences when you visit public institutions. There facilities are not as new, and well kept as that of Bradley. We constantly have renovations that keep our school looking great and also these renovations add to the convenience of the students. You can additionally see our money go toward the qualifications and hiring of our professors who all seem eager to teach and help out students if they are struggling with any aspects of school.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Let's see, a few good tips I can think of would be:
1. Don't be afraid to change your major or enroll undecided. Bradley has a spectacular undecided program and your advisers can help get you where you want and need to be.
2.Wait it out. If initially you don't like it give it some time. Change a few things up in order to find the root of the reason why you don't like it. Don't make drastic choices.
3. Take advantage of your teachers willingness to help. If you are struggling do not feel ashamed or embarrassed. Everyone has that one class they just don't get. Ask your teacher for additional help 10/10 times the teacher will be grateful you came to them.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Bradley University is great for students interested in majors of Engineering, Nursing, and Health Sciences. It is great for students looking for a smaller school. It is good for students who would like a change from the fast pace life of a city. It is great for students who would love additional help in school. It is great for students who love to hang out on the quad in the down time of summer and spring and hangout in friends dorms in the down time of winter and fall. It is great for students who may not know exactly what it is they want to do. It's great for almost every student!
