Review of McKendree University

from Edwardsville, IL

Describe your college in three sentences.

McKendree University has a great atmosphere about it. There's a feeling of family there. It's a smaller college, so I don't feel like a number.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are looking for that one on one relationship when you need help from a instructor, you may want to consider McKendree University. Everyone there has been very cordial and helpful from the time I registered. I don't think any student who is ready to continue their studies would not enjoy attending McKendree University.

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

The academic rigor is not tough at all. As long as you keep your mind on your studies and stay focused on obtaining that degree, it's one challenge you will overcome.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life has just been amazing. One thing they told my mom during registration was to let me make my decisions. If I should need help with anything while I'm in the dorm, I must first try to figure it out on my own, ask my RA, and even ask some college friends. This has worked out so far, and I have adjusted well.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I eat most of my meals in the dining hall at school. They have a fully staffed dining area, and there is always something for everyone, no matter what your diet is.

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

Every week there is something on schedule. There's either religious services, athletic games, dorm activities, movies, shopping, and exercises. There's everything a college kid needs.

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

McKendree University is a little bit more expensive than some colleges, but with all that it offers, it's worthwhile.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is an Indian burial mound on campus. It's great to hear the stories about it.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

McKendree University is great for students who fear being left out of the crowd.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Presently, I have not joined any clubs, but I have recently started taking a Zumba class.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is Greek life on campus, but I am not interested in it.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I give Campus safety a 10 out ot 10. There is mobile security on the campus and everyone tends to look out for their fellow friends, students and classmates.
