I absolutely love Elmhurst! The campus is beautiful (especially in the fall), and most of the students I’ve met are hardworking and driven in their field of study. The professors are not only very knowledgeable but also caring and understanding. I love that this school has so much to offer regarding academics and events (homecoming, President’s Ball, founder’s day, etc.), yet it is small enough that the professors get to know their students individually. I can’t say enough good things about Elmhurst. Go Jays!
Elmhurst is a university where you find so many students and faculty who care. I've come across many professor who are so understanding, and you know that they want to prepare you for life after university. The students here are very dedicated to reaching out and staying connected to the diverse student body. To put it simply, this university is awesome!
I am a Freshman currently and I am loving the school. It's a beautiful campus, it's small so you feel like you know almost everyone here. I am able to have a close relationship with my professors and really have one on one help! The few things I'd like to change or see improved, are the dorm rooms. I am currently housed in Niebuhr Hall & when you tell someone that, they usually feel bad for me. Niebuhr doesn't have AC and you're not allowed to bring your own AC unit; so imagine those days it's 75 to 84 degrees outside, with simple box fans.... plus the rooms are a bit small for two people. Another thing I'd live to see is just a bit more diversity. The school is getting more diverse each year, I just would love to see a bit more.
