REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingMoody is renowned for its ability to teach the future generation solid, biblically based teaching and my experience so far has been just that. I came to MBI (the Spokane campus) with quite minimal knowledge of the Bible. In fact, I don't think I've even read THROUGH the Bible at that point. However, since then I've been learning from world-class teachers. Teachers who have been in Jerusalem excavating actual biblical sites and teachers who have studied AND taught at Oxford and are currently translating Eusebius' commentary on Isaiah from Greek to English for the first time. (Sounds like a big deal, huh). Yet all these teachers care about you. Personally. And are willing to go get a cup of coffee with you just to talk (if you pay of course! :) ) Needless to say, when you come to study at Moody, you tap into a world class arsenal of Biblical teaching and knowledge with Christ being at the very core.

Serving the world in creative yet wonderfully unorthodox ways will become your passion. Hard work does produce fruit, in your life and the lives you seek to impact. Moody is exceptional in its environment, its impact, and it's service.
Laurel from St. Louis, Missouri
Moody Bible Institute is excited about the Bible. The professors care about you and want to help you to learn, and grow in your relationship with God. Every time I visit MBI I feel at home and know that God is at work through the students and staff.
Elisabeth from Prophetstown, IL
When you enter the campus of Moody, you will walk out four years later a completely different person. Armored with the knowledge of God, and of the world and its cultures, you will be fully equipped to carry out every good work. AND, have an AMAZING experience along the way!
Melinda from Chicago, IL
A great solid Christian Institution that enables its students to go for ministry or work in the areas they are studying .
Bianca from Chicago, IL
Moody Bible Institute is an incredible school. I have been challenged and grown in so many ways, and the community has been so awesome. Moody provides a quality education - both academically and spiritually.
Arielle from Walworth, WI
Moody Bible Institute - Spokane is a wonderful and academically rigorous school. It offers a very family like environment with professors and students alike, while maintaining a professional and respectful atmosphere. At Moody - Spokane, one will not only grow spiritually, but academically.
Natalia from Spokane, WA
*Disclaimer!* I do not attend the Chicago campus, but the Spokane one. Though I applied to the Chicago campus and was deferred here, I would highly suggest anyone to take this route. It is the best decision I ever made!
Emily from Gilmer, TX
Excellent for ministry-oriented students. Easy on the wallet. Great for getting to know solid Christian friends.
