Review of Lindenwood University

from Ballwin, MO

Describe your college in three sentences.

Lindenwood is a close knit campus and everyone is really friendly. It is very similar to a high school setting and easy to feel comfortable in classrooms.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Lindenwood offers a lot of scholarships and is an excellent option to save money even if you aren't an athlete.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

I am currently in pre-med and I find the classes are too easy and worry they will not prepare me the MCAT.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is more strict than most college campuses and it feels a little bit like being babysat. Visiting hours are from 12pm-12am and you have to get guests approved in advanced if they do not attend Lindenwood. There are no microwaves allowed in the rooms, but there are usually microwaves on the floors and you can bring your own fridge. Most of the dorms have air conditioning and suite style bathrooms.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Food is included with tuition and you get 3 meals Monday through Friday and 2 meals on the weekend. The food is not bad and there is a variety of options on campus.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Main Street in Old Town St. Charles is the most popular place to go because there is so much to do there. The Loop and Forest Park are also popular St. Louis places to go.

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

My books this semester literally cost more than my tuition. It is a very inexpensive school because they give out so much money and it is a great school for most majors.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for anyone that likes a small school and cheaper tuition.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are 3 fraternities and 2 sororities and they have just approved expanding and bringing more Greek Life to Lindenwood. It is a great opportunity to get involved. There are not Greek houses, but each fraternity or sorority has a floor in specified dorm buildings.
