Spalding University

Spalding University is an urban university tucked inside the heart of downtown Louisville. The feel of the campus is pretty cool as everything is close and easy to get to. And it seems like the opportunities are tremendous with Louisville providing a backyard full of connections and internships.

I applied for a job as a janitor at Spalding university. I am probably overqualified but i really wanted the job because it was within walking distance of my apartment. I tried to go speak with them in person a couple times after applying and was greeted with an extremely rude and unhelpful receptionist who refused to give me any information or help in any way. If you're considering applying here for a job or education I highly recommend you look elsewhere. The campus is comprised of old buildings in the bad part of town and if the rest of the school is anything like the people I interacted with then they do not deserve your time.

Seems very empty and no classes going on.

This school has been the biggest waste of a year and $40,000 of tuition, room & board, and supplies. If I could give it 0 stars I would and I would highly suggest had anyone planning to attend here rethink their choice. Just because they give you a scholarship does NOT make it worth it. There are plenty of other schools that offer the same degree for a better quality of education. Staff(professors, advisors, financial aid, food service, etc.) are all rude. I wish I was joking. Staff of all types are either blatantly rude or just ignore you when you have concerns/questions. As a freshman having to live on campus(Morrison Hall), Residential Advisors(RA’s) are extremely disconnected and don't keep confidentiality on problems they are suppose to, causing gossip and unnecessary tension. Morrison itself is also filthy. Residents do not clean up after themselves and each floor is always trashed and common areas(such as the basement/kitchen) are constantly having items broken/stolen by other residents. Quiet Hours are a joke and most RAs claim handling situations, “aren’t there job”, leaving assistance unreachable do to staff only being obtainable from Monday-Friday from about 10-4. We have been out of hand soap in 2 dispenses in the shared bathroom for over a month. I WISH I was joking. I wish this was some sick prank. On top of that, the idea of a 6 week class is fine until you have an underprepared professor, or have zero take away from the class itself. Due to the sessions being 6 weeks and have 3, per semester with a week in between it also makes it impossible to transfer after one semester. Since there is a split between session 3, and winter break. Making other university’s semesters start/end about 2 weeks different than Spaldings. Meaning, you would fail up to 2 classes if you decide to transfer mid year. If you are considering starting here as an undergraduate. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE reconsider. Do not waste your time or your money. There are other schools that would be worth the extra hundreds-thousands of dollars. Do not waste your time here.

The school lies a lot. They will say what ever it takes to get you to come here even if it is not true. If you're an artist don't come. They promise studios which you won't get and they have rights to steal YOUR art.
