Elmhurst University

I graduated back in December of 2019 with my Bachelors of Science in Accounting(before the college turned into a University). Throughout my 4 years at Elmhurst, I really enjoyed the friendly campus environment because everyone is super nice and kind on campus, in your classes, in clubs you join and during meals in the cafeteria. I met quite a few of my friends in the cafeteria during lunch/dinner meals and I still talk to them to this day. I love how everyone is so welcoming and kind on campus because it makes you feel more comfortable and it makes you feel like Elmhurst is a place you can call home. I was involved in a sorority, Best Buddies, and UCC events on campus and the people I have met in these clubs/groups have turned into long-lasting relationships whether it is virtual or in person.nnThe resources on campus such as the writing center, math tutoring specialist and disability services are all very supportive when it comes to students who need extra help. Susan Roach is an amazing writing specialist and can really help you with understanding how to write college level papers as well as organize your papers. Corinne Smith(former coordinator) and Linda Harrell are both amazing ladies in the disability services department and are very nice about accommodating students with disabilities. Elmhurst is very dedicated to those who have learning disabilities and I am glad that I was able to grow a relationship with Corinne for a couple years and Linda throughout my last year of college.nnI really loved the small class sizes as it is easier to build relationships with your classmates and get to know them better. I felt very comfortable in small classes participating in group activities. The small class sizes allowed me to get to know my professors more and they were more willing to help me if I needed additional help with class content. The professors at Elmhurst are amazing and are very dedicated to there students success. They are super friendly and many of them are wiling to go out of there way to help you be successful in there classes. I met with many of my professors before/after class and made appointments with them and I do have to say that I have built so many long-lasting relationships with my professors in my major and those relationships will continue into the future. I also loved how the professors can put a face to your name since it is a small school and they can develop those student-professor relationships. The Business/Accounting department is absolutely amazing! They are very nice, friendly, caring and willing to take time out of there day to go above and beyond to help you be successful and help you understand the class content. They are very dedicated to helping students succeed! The professors here at Elmhurst know how to help students and are very comfortable with listening to students needs/problems. Also, the Accounting Department/Business Administration department are very well-educated professors and they are high-quality professors as well. They teach very well and explain concepts clearly. I hope to come back to visit campus sometime soon!nnAs an Elmhurst University Alumni, I will always remember the friendly campus, amazing professors(as well as the student to faculty ratio and small class sizes), the variety of campus resources that are available to you and the variety of opportunities there are to get involved on campus!nnMaddie PasteriknBachelor of Science, AccountingnClass of 2020nSigma Kappa AlumninCum Laude

The campus is one of the most beautiful that I have seen, but it belies the fact that the students here are the most toxic, anti-social people in the Western Hemisphere. Elmhurst College/Elmhurst University may be beautiful on the outside with all the landscaping and what not, but Elmhurst College/University is a dry, barren, and lifeless social desert.nnWelcome to the dreaded DuPage County, Illinois. Where there is no making friends, no casual socializing, every man is an island and is expected to stay completely out of everyone else's life, be a stranger, stay a stranger, and mind their own business, and where every single communication is strictly business-related, and where anything social is confined within closed cliques that carry a zero tolerance policy for strangers and anyone not within the clique.

Best decision I have ever made was transferring to this university. Very welcoming and with excellent professors. Totally recommend it.

Fine school, taught me much of what has shaped my life.

Beautiful and well maintained buildings and grounds. Reminiscent of exclusive East coast schools. Faculty is amazing!!
