I am learning a lot at Creighton University, and I am having fun while doing it! The professors are wonderful. They know their stuff, and they make class very enjoyable. The classes are challenging, but it is all worth the hard work that I have to put in.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I made lifelong friends right from the start! They are all so fun and amazing friends. They make being here at CU very enjoyable and fun. There is always something going on in the halls of the dorms. CU also has a lot of activities throughout the week and especially on the weekend. I have found myself homesick some, but getting involved in the MANY activities and events that Creighton offers definitely helps keep my mind off of being homesick and focus on enjoying my time here at college.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I will admit, Creighton is EXPENSIVE! I was almost going to not be able to attend CU because of the price, but I talked with the admissions people and we worked it out so that I could come here! And, boy am I glad that I did get the chance to come here. Yes, Creighton is expensive, but it is soo worth every penny. The teachers, the students, and the lifelong friends that are made because of coming here make it all worth the money that I am paying to attend. I know that if I had attended the cheaper state school that I was going to attend, I would not have received as good of an education that I am receiving here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I suggest taking as many college courses in high school that you can! Most high schools will pay for that which will take a great burden off of you and your parent's wallets! Also, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! You will be amazed how much easier a class becomes and how much more you understand the material when you simply do the homework! Also, if you are stuck on a problem or you don't understand a lesson go in and talk with the professor. That is what they are there for, and most are more than willing to take the time it takes for you to be able to understand the material. They want to see you succeed.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Creighton University is great for the type of student that likes to do service projects and help people, for the student that wants a challenge, and for the student that wants to have fun while working hard!
