Medium sized community that feels like a small, close knit community. Really follows the core Jesuit values (i.e. working for and with others). A place where not only are academics encouraged, but participation in extracurriculars as well.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Have an idea of what you would like to study at Creighton and see how large the department is here. Creighton, in my opinion is a perfect fit for students wishing to continue their education at a professional school, due to the fact that Creighton has so many professional schools (Pharmacy, Medical, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Dental, Law). Creighton tends to give a large percentage of their accepted students a scholarship, varying in monetary amounts of course, so that should also be a factor in your decision.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It really depends on your academic background going into Creighton. Many classes pushed me to do more work than I ever did in high school. For example, general biology and general chemistry. The professors are excellent and really want you to succeed, even going as far as holding review sessions on the weekends on their free time.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
For the most part, I loved dorm life. I lived in swanson hall, a suite style building in my freshman and sophomore year and found it comfortable. My room had an attached bathroom that I shared with my roommate and the room next to me. Other than that, the other dorms on campus are livable. No major damages or need of polishing up in the dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
It's dorm food, what's new? It's obviously not restaurant quality but it's hard to attain such a quality when you're cranking out large quantities of food every day. I enjoy the fact that Creighton offers a to-go option for students who don't have enough time to eat in the dining hall.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's the old market which is an amazing place to explore during the warm seasons. It's about 15ish minutes by foot from campus and it's chock-full of little locally owned restaurants and knick knack shops. What I also like about it is the fact that during the warm season, there is an open farmers market.
