Bradley University Top Questions

many students at bradley come from the chicago suburbs and are pretty wealthy, but there are plenty of students that are not.

I'm not sure if any student would feel very out of place at Bradley, but that is just my opinion. The campus is very open to everyone.

The student body is diverse. There are a good amount of international students on campus. Most students hold a part time job to help pay for college expenses. There isn't the typical cliques as you would find in high school. Some of your closest friends will be from the dorms that you live in as well as those from your classes. There are many school-wide events that allow for you to meet new people.

Student body is not very cultured. Has gotten way better than before, but still not multi cultured body. Needs more work on getting other racial groups involved and attending than just focusing on African Americans. Asians and Latinos are very underrepresented and I feel are viewed lower. Most students come from the area or Chicago area. Some international students or out of staters.

Bradley is predominantly white. There are small mixes of other minorities. Since it is a private school, you can expect a good deal of richer kids. Being a smaller school, you typically know many faces unlike other universities. Most people inside a certain major are often to see these people often, making group projects and other interactions easier.

Bradley's student body is multicultural. About 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body is from the Chicago Land area.

Bradley is a really mixed campus racially. No one really goes out of their way to dress up for class.. sweats and jeans and t-shirts.. I dont think anyone would really feel out of place at Bradley-- there are people from the city and then there are farmers and ppl from suburbs and out of state and everywhere. There is a huge greek life on campus and that is really fun. I would reccommend rushing to anyone who is at Bradley because its worth it. I'm in a sorority and its really fun- great networking and meeting people. Right off the bat you have over 100 friends when you join a house. Bradley can be pretty conservative compared to most private schools. Its kind of annoying but a lot of ppl (like me) do fine and I'm pretty liberal. There are a lot of student groups and people are pretty politically active and active in other ways too. They do a lot of community service and volunteerism. It gets kind of clicky but it does everywhere. For the most part people are nice to everyone and branch out well.

Their are many religious groups you can join there is a Hillel and a large Neumann center, which is very nice inside and a great place to relax if you are Catholic, connected to the Neumann center is a catholic church with a very good priest, I like to attend often, sometimes they offer free food. Their is a Christian fraternity/ sorority and many ethnic groups. It doesn't really matter if your parents are middle or lower class, because almost every college kid is poor. Bradley offers quick cash, which you can use at many stores for a variety of items. I don't feel like there is any norms in the cafeteria, as students eat whenever they feel like it. Bradley offers a variety of jobs on campus and off campus through job fairs, if anyone is strapped for cash.

Diverse. Mostly white, but there are minorities. Smallest minority group would probably be asians.

Bradley is mostly white, upper middle-class kids. As I said earlier, it seems like almost everyone is from the Chicago area. I would classify Bradley as a fairly conservative school, but I though a lot of students considered themselves to be liberals. However, I think most of them said that just because they have a disdain for the Bush administration. I swear to God, every black kid knew every other black kid on campus.
