Briar Cliff University — Attraction in Sioux City

I wouldn’t personally recommend it or trust too many reviews left by freshman as we were incentivized to leave reviews. It also has a %100 acceptance rate on some websites which is not a good thing. Their professors are fantastic, though. Super accommodating, helpful, and well-learned. The campus itself is gorgeous as well.

I attended a couple years ago. This section is just cautionary. I was assured that if I paid a fee that I would graduate on time and receive my degree, they had lied. Some employees in the business office (though I do not know if they are still employed there) allegedly had an issue with pocketing payments. Unfortunately there isn’t anything I can do about this as I was too naive and trusting of a university to get this in writing. Just giving fellow students a heads up! If you need to do ANYTHING with their business department, ensure it is in writing! I suggest Morningside or ISU. You have way more invaluable networking opportunities at either of those universities.

That being said, if you’re looking for a religious college then this may be a good fit for you. Just be warned, though, a lot of the credits they force you to take will not transfer to other colleges. A few of my friends got stuck taking 3 extra years of college to make up for it...

Feel free to ask me about the...

Briarcliff’s financial aide department didn’t do their job which cost my daughter a government grant of over $2000 her freshman year in college. When I realized what took place, they would not take any responsibility for the actions or lack of action from their department. For a Christian/Catholic based University this is pitiful and I would not recommend...
