I love the campus! It's very peaceful and absolutely gorgeous. The students are always welcoming and friendly to everyone. However, the dorm room I'm living in is very small. Also, their art department isn't as great as I had hoped. I am a graphics design major, and I feel like I'm not getting as great of an education as I would if I were a nursing major or an aviation major, which are the school's two well-known majors.
I am a transfer student, who transferred to Lewis University. It is my first semester there and it has been amazing! I have recently joined a business professional fraternity. It will help me further succeed in my business career. I have made some awesome friends and the teachers there are very knowledgable as well. I would not have it any other way.
Overall, everyone is friendly and kind. The professors truly care about you, your education, and your well-being. There are many resources you can use if you need help personally, professionally, or academically. You can count on your professors to help you when you need it. The labs are excellent in the science department and there are plenty of research opportunities. If you want to participate in research and work hard, you can. I love my experiences here, and know many of my friends do too.
