Creighton University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Creighton University accurate?

Andy

No...not for the most part. There are many catholics but there are many people of different religions or no religion too. A lot of kids are white and do come from upper-middle class families but most are not stuck up at all...in fact there are only a few that I have met and its really easy to find a lot of people that are really down to earth. There are some hawaiians and a few african americans but for the most part are white.

Rachel

To an extent, you always have the extremes..most people here are very smart, but there are some that aren't so much, of course there are snobs but most of the people are friendly and welcoming, the typical Creighton student description is pretty accurate

Shawn

Very much so. Though there are some exceptions.

Emily

It depends on each person, you can't group them all into one. There are for sure students who come from a wealthy family and flaunt it around campus, but there are also students that came to college to have a good time but still get their school work done. We have a combination of a lot of people, however there isn't much cultural diversity.

Brianna

No

Alex

Alot are, not everyone is religious

Sara

Creighton has top biology and chemistry programs, that is true. But there are still many other students that pursue other non-health field careers.

Dan

In broad strokes, yes. We're focused and ambitious, and spend quite a bit of time studying, and, while we're not all Catholic, we tend to share values in line with Jesuit teachings. Most undergrads do come from the Midwest, but there's more geographic diversity than people credit us for. The majority of the school is pre-professional (pre-med, pre-dent, pre-law, pre-PT, pre-OT), since we have our own graduate schools in those programs.
