Review of Moody Bible Institute

from Chicago, IL

Describe your college in three sentences.

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!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be willing to be open to what God is showing you, and keep him your constant focus.

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

Lets face it, Moody is KNOWN for its Academic Rigor that produces a Man or Woman that is HIGH DEMAND by both professional and missional organizations. You will study hard, grow leaps and bounds in your learning and understanding of God and his word, and be truly transformed into the who you have been destined to become.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The community aspect of Moody is part of what makes life spectacular here. There are separate Men and Women dorms, but we operate on what's called a Bro-Sis (Brother floor-Sister Floor) so there is as much, or as little opportunity to commune with both sexes as you wish.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The SDR (Student Dining Room) is loud, fun, and a place of community and friends. There are many great and tasty meal options, and if you don't like them than you can choose a meal replacement from The Commons. This is similar to the Ala-carte options of pizza, subs, grilled foods, etc

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

We are in the HEART of Downtown Chicago, two blocks from Magnificent Mile, and minutes from Millenium Park. Basically, we have anything you could ever dream of, and things you've never thought of, at your fingertips. AND, if you need a break, Lake Michigan is a 5-minute walk to silence, and the beautiful splendor of the beach and water.

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

Tuition-PAID SCHOOL!!! Enough said! :) Look it up, I SWEAR it's true, Tuition is FREE-you only pay Room and Board. (Maximum of $2900 a semester)

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Hmm....well we are lovingly referred to as Moody Bridal Institute; but the festivities when someone is engaged involves flagpoles, video footage, lots of noise and boisterous FUN!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Christian. Every other type of person that fits under the umbrella as Christian would find something they love and FALL IN LOVE with Moody. I promise!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Missions focused clubs, Student developments, Language clubs, Athletics, Intramurals, Specific Ministry and Major focused clubs, etc. Mission trips in ABUNDANCE during all times of the year including winter, spring, and summer breaks.

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

Moody employs ONLY security officers that have experience in Law Enforcement. I am a scaredy-cat, yet I feel EXTREMELY safe on campus. However, if you are ever in need any time of day or night one phone call will get a Brother, or Public Safety Officer to you in minutes to walk home with you from the El-trains, or bus. They will also take you to and from areas in the city you may be transportation to, as well as help with flat tires or minor car repairs if you have a car on campus.
