McKendree University Reviews
Rating 3.55 out of 5 477 reviews
This is not a school for people who struggle financially. Unless you’re from Illinois, it’s hard to get the financial aid that you need because most of the scholarships the school offers are for only Illinois students. Another aspect is with the teachers you’re either going to love them or hate them. Some of them care way more than others, while some teachers are amazing! The food is usually pretty good and so are the dorms. The town is small and very home town like. The athletics are very good for the most part. Wrestling is a great one to participate in on both them men and womens side.

McKendree University is not the best school to attend today. During my campus visits/tours, they made everything seem very positive. However, I quickly found that to be untrue. First, the dorm. Bathrooms are a wreck, the room is damaged or missing stuff, and loud constantly, and ceiling tiles move. Food is mid, professors are nice, and everything (activity-based) is shut down. No gym or entertainment center. Someone without a vehicle is probably depressed right now. If you do not play a sport and looking for academics, maybe not the best choice as McKendree is becoming a sports party school. Sorry about all the negatives, but vehicle damage has been bad too.
