I have left Shimer College after 3 semesters for another university in the city. While I would not…read moreoutright dissuade anyone from considering this college, I will say that I left because I was unhappy with most aspects of the school. The student body is limited both in size (less than 100) and diversity of any sort (racial, political, ideological). For the price of approx. $24,000 there is no real campus and resources are severely limited . Student services are next to nonexistent although efforts are being made to change that. Academically it is hit-or-miss. As with any school one must ultimately take charge of their own education. Some of my experiences here did a great deal to foster my growth as a critical thinker and I appreciated the emphasis on reading original source material... However, the academics of this school are a bit overrated by its supporters. I felt that too many of the students at the school seem to have found a home at Shimer because they are curious but lack the academic ability for a more rigorous school. At a small school, w/small discussion based classes, that negatively impacts everyone's educational experience. Professors teach all subjects regardless of their background. Someone who's academic pedigree is in literature will be teaching your science classes. I found the administration to be quite dysfunctional. A brief, unscientific survey of students who have graduated immediately before and during my time at Shimer finds a sizable number ( greater than 40%) unemployed, underemployed, or working for the school as labor. This speaks to those, like myself, who want a solid, liberal arts education but plan on a career outside academia. If one does attend Shimer and later decides to transfer to another school, be forewarned that coursework here does not easily transfer to other institutions. Caveat emptor

I graduated from Benedictine from both the Bachelor in Criminal Justice and Master in Business…read moreAdministration programs and I enjoyed both the education I received and the overall experience during my six years here. Benedictine is comparable to other smaller Division III schools in the area (e.g. Elmhurst). Class sizes are extremely small (approximately 20-40 students per class), so learning is much more personalized compared to sitting in a larger school with 100+ students in class. With that being said, it's much easier to get to know the professors individually and work with them during office hours when you need help or want to chat. Likewise, there are many opportunities for you to become involved with your peers as they have many different student organizations on campus. I met some great people at this school, and for that, I am very thankful. More importantly, I felt the curriculum was solid. If I had to repeat my time here, however, i would likely have changed my major to Political Science, Business, or something science-related as I believe that Ben U excels in these three areas. The issue of with the criminal justice program here was that it was mostly theoretical. For those students who want to go into law enforcement and law, there should be more application based classes. One drawback of this campus, however, was that it felt very dated. During my time undergraduate program, however, the University was undergoing a huge construction project to build the Goodwin Hall of Business. This building would be where I spent my final two years in the MBA program, and I must say, that building is exceptional. Ben U's developmental plan, #BenU2020, never came to fruition with most of it being stalled due to financial concerns. This leads me to my critiques of the campus. First, it's apparent that the University is not fiscally responsible. The fact that this is primarily a commuter school does not help whatsoever with the goal of increasing enrollment. The way to increase enrollment is to make this primary a resident school! Many students flock to other comparable Illinois educational institutions because they want the true college experience. Why can't they have it here, considering downtown Naperville is minutes away? Students would rather go to North Central than here simply because of the location! If Ben U made it more appealing to live on campus with an increased number of freshly renovated dorms, increased entertainment experiences on campus, and more parking, more students would gladly come there! Unfortunately, minimizing the number of programs will do more harm than good in the long run - you need a diverse range of educational programs or they will go elsewhere. When I was in my Master's program, I couldn't believe they got rid of the MIS program - the industry is hiring in bulk! Alternatively, offer more certificates for MBA grads! Second, parking was atrocious anytime of the day. Considering you parking was an issue for all types of students, it means one thing - build more parking. Third, interactions with Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and the Registrar departments were less than stellar. There was always an issue and nothing was ever resolved timely. I had to wait months just to receive my final transcript from my master's program. That is simply unacceptable. There should be no excuse that you are months behind. If you are that behind, hire more help or reform the departments. Lastly, there were small, yet random-things I would say need to be changed. I thought the library hours could have been expanded, especially closer to finals. I can't speak for how it was the last couple of years, but during undergraduate I didn't think they were satisfactory. Also, a real Starbucks franchise was great to have, but even it didn't last more than a year. Considering the campus needs an overhaul, this was a bad thing to lose. Also, the eradication of the tennis team was unfortunate - I would have loved to play. In short, I would gladly recommend this university to any of my peers looking to further their education in a small, faith-based, values-driven school. I just hope that the administration finds a better way of increasing enrollment - I want to see students have a great experience here in the future.

While I enjoyed many of my professors and courses in grad school there (I am a Dual MPH and MBA…read moreprogram graduate) it's clear to me that the university does not care about students and only cares about making money. I received a letter a few months ago, indicating that there was a balance of several thousand dollars on my student account. I graduated over a year prior and my account was in good standing. I had no balance in several months after it showed no balance. I no longer had access to my Benedictine school email after graduation, but apparently I received notifications that I had a balance on my account somehow. I then get surprised with a letter over year later that the account will be sent collections if they didn't receive the thousands of dollars within 30 days of receiving the letter. Luckily, I got mailed the letter and actually got it In time but they didn't reach out at all prior to that or to my email only an old student account. Because I have been undergoing extreme medical expenses and hardship I requested a hardship review which they refused there was no leniency on the amount which they had full discretion to lower. Just kept demanding it and that it could be sent to collections. So I had to pay them... they obviously do not care about people and just want their money.

God's love never reached their hearts and actions there. I'm extremely disappointed in them and see they will never truly be life giving until God deals with them and until they truly listen to Him. :(

The popular show Empire has used the college for filming. The food in the Commons cafeteria is delicious, especially the stir fried rice. It had just the right amount of teriyaki sauce and veggies.

I received another $1,000 from Phi Theta Kappa and began working in my field by my junior year. I think I paid $6k for my degree. As a graduate student at St. Francis I started in the certificate program to take advantage of the lower tuition and received a discount because my company partners with the University. You have 7 years to complete the program. Most employers offer around $5k per calendar year which is about a class per semester and IS considered FULL time. If you drag it out long enough your employer pays for your degree. Essentially making grad school free. As for the program, at St. Francis I'm a person. We're taught by our professors rather than teaching assistants and they know you by name. Their doors are always open. They all have PhDs and have 20+ years of experience in their perspective fields or are still working in addition to teaching full-time. You'll complete typical homework assignments, papers, quizzes, tests, and discussion boards in which both the students and professors participate. In addition to getting a degree you actually learn something here that can be applied to your career and they take academic dishonesty seriously. I'm really glad I stumbled upon St. Francis. It's been nothing short of amazing.
