Benedictine University

The campus is in a suburban city of Lisle. Not super crowded, but calm. The school itself is small with smaller class sizes. Academically is is alright and not amazing. I will say there is a lot more opportunities to get involved though. My sister graduated from here and she is about to start her Master's degree. Basically if you work you will be a success coming form the school.

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 money you pay.

The school program is good. However, the staff never answers emails or phone calls.

I am puzzled at the one-star reviews here. This school is a gem. Small campus feel with big campus facilities. The business school is only 18 months old and is a state-of-the-art facility. 17-1 student to teacher ratio with no teaching assistants in the classroom providing instruction. You learn from real professors. The close proximity of the university to Chicago means students have internship opportunities with some of the leading corporations in the world.

Okay everyone, Buckle up, Grab your popcorn, And let me tell you the story about the impending death of Benedictine University. Some context, Im a current student; a freshman mind you, and Im on an athletic team. it was announced earlier in the year that all our programs were going D2 in the following year. Just recently The president of the university has mysteriously withdrawn without statement and they have decided to no longer pursue D2 athletics. Many students have withdrawn or are planning to and its not even been a week since the news. This just scratches the surface. Lets talk dorms. The A/C is broke every other week and its hot as balls (good luck trying to sleep) the building is filled with slobs. I mean seriously, A bottle of chocolate milk was splattered all over the staircase, it looked like a coco crime scene, all over the walls and its still there! nobody cleaned it up. The bathrooms are trashed, the great flood of trash occurs every other day. I swim through trash just to get to the toilet. speaking of toilets they are constantly plugged. the stalls are disgusting with profanity all over the walls along with countless boogers. half the stall doors are broken. Friday through sunday the sinks are filled with the puke of the kids who party all night. The halls smell like mildew and weed and nobody cares about it.The school is going broke. nobody says anything but its known among the university. they don't have money to fund fun things for students to do. They even asked students to pay for their own bingo prizes. The list goes on I won't take up anymore of your time if you are planning to attend benedictine University in the future, that is if the place is even still running. DONT. *mic drop* -RMNZ
