Review of Elmhurst University

from Glendale Heights, IL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I really am learning a lot in this school. I'm not just learning things for my major but also things that I can apply towards life in general. Going to a liberal arts school helps you learn many things that can used for many majors.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Honestly, I am not enjoying college as much as I thought I would. Being a commuter makes it difficult to meet people if you don't get involved on campus.

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

They give a lot of financial aid here there's grants, scholarships, and jobs on campus. You just need to know where to look. After filing your fafsa that's where most of your financial aid comes from. But if you still need to pay money you don't have, you can take out loans or contact the financial aid office and they can assist you with advice on what to do. Compared to other private schools it is a lot cheaper and even more cheap if you commute.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Try to get involved as much as possible even if you commute so you can enjoy your college experience. Take advantage of getting to choose your own schedule don't overwhelm yourself with too many classes. Also, Try taking four classes per semester and one during January or take the whole January month off.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

students who are undecided of what their major is, those who are sure of their major, and anyone interested in Nursing, Psychology, Music, or any Social Science majors. This college is great if you live close enough to commute. If you enjoy traveling to Chicago this college is great for you because there are a lot of field trips to Chicago :) (depending on the classes you take)
