I am currently a freshman at Creighton University. From the short time I have been there, I have seen that the community there is kind and caring. I have met many wonderful people that have made the change from home to college easier. People there truly care about you and will help you with any of your concerns. Aside from the people, the campus is small which helps one get to classes quickly from your dorm. It also allows you to get to know campus better and make stronger and lasting relationships. There are several clubs you can join. Currently I am in the EMT club which has allowed me to meet people who are interested in majoring in Paramedicine, but also get to learn some skills that will benefit you once you start EMT classes. I also work at the library which has given me another chance to meet new people and bond with my co-workers. Overall, my experience at Creighton University has been challenging but also exciting. I cannot wait to make more lasting memories!

While classes, clubs, financial aid, and students are okay, those are the only positives I found. I went there with high hopes only for the staff to tear me apart. Many teachers will change schedule times last minute (literally right when a meetings supposed to start) and turn a blind eye to major dangers in the classrooms, the financial advisors lied to me about the impossibly high required class load for freshman and gaslit me when I confronted them about it, and even counselors and accommodations staff treat students like problems to solve rather than people. One counselor even tried to kidnap me mid-mental breakdown. I'm dead serious. This isn't even including the terrible food quality/sanitary conditions, the dorm situations, unsafe environment, systemic issues, and often hateful stance on anyone that isn't a "pure white Catholic" many beside me complain about. All this eventually forced me to leave early, and I couldn't be happier with leaving Creighton behind.

I would love more diversity and to see a bit more openness on campus. But that is just a small vibe I got when looking at the students. The admin and professors do encourage inclusion (racial and lgbtq+) and openness. The food in the dining halls are good to me, there are some of days where it's not great but that's in short supply. Campus is pretty but I always feel like there is a renovation or construction happening and can't see the campus in its full beauty. The professors I've had so far are amazing. All considerate of situations and will help any way they can. The academics are hard, not going to lie. And the grading system is A, B+, B, B-, C+, etc. So GPA gets a little harder to maintain when it can change between a +, neutral grade, and a -. The school always has activities to do, even when we had Covid. They were cautious but still wanted the students to have fun. Freshman dorms are small but later grades, they are better. I love CU and they have great grant opportunities!
