First and foremost Rockford University ceiling for improvement is extremely high and over the years I’ve witness drastic change. Being a multi student athlete coming in and realizing how underfunded and appreciated our athletic department was was heart breaking, but over the years with a total revamp in coaching, and athletic facilities the department is on the rise. Not to brag, but our nursing program has been top 2 in the region and has tremendous collaborations with local hospitals for our nursing students to land a job during school. Lastly the staff and faculty care so deeply. Honestly if it wasn’t for their genuine love and motivation knowing that I had true potential for the real world post graduation, I would’ve never made it. The staff and faculty brought me back from a dark place and help me reach heights I never though I could reach again.
I really enjoyed building close personal relationships with my professors and advisors since it is such a community-like environment. There seems to be a disconnect in communication and understanding between certain administrative staff, student administrative services, and the student population. They seem to pick apart the feedback that works best for them.
Rockford University is perfect for people that does not want to attend a big campus. It’s not that hard to meet new people, because of how small the campus is, you pretty much know almost everyone. It’s kind of like high school, but you’re just living all together. It’s a very diverse school. Lots of events to attend that caters to every culture. It’s an overall good school.
