Trinity International University — Local services in Bannockburn

I'm in the TEDS graduate program. Very relaxed atmosphere on campus and during the times its not cold, the campus looks beautiful. The grad side has many middle aged people and families since the school has so many masters and doctoral students. The grad side is very diverse with people from different countries and ethnicities. Waybright center is where both campuses meet, even though they are vastly different. The undergrad side mainly consist of people fresh out of high school while most of grad side are older people out of school for a couple of year or more. Grad side male female ratio has to be at least 7 to 3 favoring men...undergrad is half and half. Professors are a mixed bag, some are very personable and approachable while others are scholars and act like they don't have time for personal matters with students...its like any university. Small campus but feels big when you always walk around. Train station is 10 minutes away by car...I recommend having a car since its a northern suburb with not a whole bunch to do if you stay on campus. Highly recommended school that does put a strong emphasis on the Christian faith in...

TIU has some great accelerated programs in cooperation with TEDs (which is one of the best Evangelical seminaries at present). However, TIU as a 4-Year institution has very little value for the cost (both financially and emotionally). The systems are hopelessly broken, which often overshadow their professors who are very good at what they do. It is likely only their love for the students that keeps many of the professors here. The campus is small, so if you wish to do ministry through your college career in your college, you may be able to have an impact. Expect no support from the administration. Over all, TIU is not recommended. Overall: 1 star. Faculty: 4 stars. Admin: Zero stars. Dining: 5 stars. Community: (As of now) 3 stars. Academics: 1 star. Update: The school had a separate graduation for black students only last year, fired all of their undergraduate Biblical and Religious Studies professors, and now assigns books that actively promote heresy. Accreditation review is coming up, so tune in Summer 2020 to see if they...

I am 35 and older for an undergraduate student. I’ve had several years of educational experience attending community college as well as a bigger commuter college in Chicago. I didn’t know teachers like these existed. They genuinely care about the students and their humility despite being well known scholars and thinkers is not of this world. I’ve seen the secular educational world and stepping into Trinity as a student was one of the most refreshing experiences of my life. I am in the Biblical studies program. Currently learning Greek and getting a strong Biblical education. It’s incredible to learn with some of these brilliant students and teachers. This place...
