Benedictine University — Attraction in Lisle

The dorm that I stayed was absolutely disgusting and rundown. The basement where the washer and driers are is often flooded and smells like mildew. The bathrooms are cleaned once a day and the idiots who live here do disgusting things to the bathroom all the time. Someone has pooped in the shower. People pee in water bottles and place them in the urinals. People fill the toilets to the brim with toilet paper and no one does anything about it. The halls always smell like weed and cigarettes. There are some really smart students here. However, in my experience, many of the students are unintelligent and have no ambition. It is clear that a lot of people go here because they couldn't get into any other school. The school will accept anyone who applies because they are desperate for money. If your only goal is to earn a degree than this school is fine. However, if you would actually like to learn a field of study, there are plenty of other universities with a real learning atmospheres. The education you get here is not worth the insane amount of...

Some of the instructors I had said they care about the students and will help them achieve in their class, they did not care one bit about the students, and only helped their favorite students.

I paid nearly $5 for my transcript to transfer to another college, that was about 3 weeks ago. The university, sorry, COMMUNITY COLLEGE has not delivered my transcripts to them yet and I feel cheated out of my money.

I had to withdraw from campus for a medical reason in the middle of the second semester. I provided the staff with the doctors note, hospital records and the needed form to help push the process along. I had to wait a very long time, and had damage done to where I had a very low GPA.

I pay nearly 35,000 dollars a year to go to this university and this is how they treat students, with instructors who pick and choose who they help and faculty that takes a long time to process one form to withdraw.

Don't waste your money here, all the money will go towards beautifying the campus and hiring second rate acts throughout both of...

I loved my experience at Benedictine University! I'm proud that I graduated from this school! I loved that the class sizes were small and that you actually got to know your professors. Some of my favorite memories include studying abroad to Morocco with faculty and students, going to NYC for Model UN with our class and winning an award, working in the library, learning all I could about Global Studies and the Arabic language, performing with the Concert Choir, taking voice lessons, and being involved with Catholic-Muslim Dialogue. I had a well-rounded education, and I can tell you all that BenU more than prepared me for grad school at DePaul University as a history MA student. My research skills were refined and honed at BenU, and I'm honored that I was first of all, accepted as a student at Benedictine, and second of all, that I graduated from here! I highly recommend BenU to anyone, especially those that want more of a personal and academic experience out of college as well as the ability to commute to...
