Butler University Top Questions

Butler University is home away from home. There are so many great aspects about this University that make students feel so comfortable when they are there. In addition to being an absolutely beautiful Butler Univeristy has everything that reminds students of home, at least in some aspect. Your friends become your family, your education becomes your motivation to succeed, and the University services (such as Student Accounts, the Health Center, and even the mailroom!) become your helping hand in day-to-day activities or problems encountered that are important for every student away from home for the first time.

The campus is beautiful and it is always changing & making improvements to curriculum & academic buildings.

What's unique about Butler is the stuent to faculty ratio, which is 12:1. This has always been a strength of Butler and has always helped me to excel in my classes. I can make relationships with the professors and they know me by name. Another unique characteristic is that it is a liberal arts school, meaning that I get a well-balanced education that will prepare me for the rest of my life.

Butler is a very close-knit community where I know a lot of students, but it is still large enough that I continue to meet new people throughout the semester. There is also a nice balance between pressure to succeed academically while still being encouraged to enjoy college through social events and volunteering in the Indianapolis area.

Butler University is a private school. My whole life I have attended public schools and been exposed to a large variety of people. Financial assistance allowed me to attend this school where people value education and don't screw around. We have the largest telescope in the state at our Holcomb observatory. We are home to the famous basketball bulldogs. Clowes is our performance hall that hosts MANY broadway shows and concerts; students get discounts. The heart of our campus is a Starbucks cafe, which was the first Starbucks on a college campus in Indiana.
