It’s such a great community that is really like a family. The people involved in the college are great people to be around! The education side is amazing and have amazing counselors and professors. The athletics definitely are something to go to to have a good time and cheer on classmates.

Kimberly - 06/06/2019

I have had a great experience at Lourdes. Like all schools there are areas of improvement, however it is a great school. It has a strong community feel and is a great small school in an area with lots to do! In the greater Toledo area, there are plenty of restaurants, shopping areas, and activities for all people.

Paula - 05/07/2019

Lourdes University is a very good school. It is clean and makes you feel very safe. This school provides many opportunities for its students and takes pride in its accomplishments. The staff take many precautions to make sure everyone feels safe and feel that they belong. Overall just a amazing school.

Brea - 04/01/2019

Academically it is a great school, they could work on things outside of academics that are important to students who live on campus to though. I have had a great experience with the education program, but all programs are not like that. I think they should also offer a bigger variety of majors.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Brooke- Relax. You do not need to decide what you want to do with your entire life right now just because you are going to college. Live in the moment and sign up for classes that you enjoy and that hold your interest. Money is not everything. Cherish those who are there for you during your most important decisions. Do not listen to what everyone has to say, just to those whose opinions are valuable. Just because a friend thinks something is a good idea does not mean that it is. Understand that friends come and go, and that not all friendships last forever. Be proud of your accomplishments; do not belittle them. As a leader, lead others in a positive direction. Join as many clubs as you can in order to meet a diverse group of individuals. Try your best to feel comfortable in your own skin, and even though you may be confused about who you are as a person, most people are. Do not forget where you grew up because every road leads to home. Value your health, family, and the simple pleasures in life, such as sleeping in a warm home; not everyone has such luck.

  7. What's unique about your campus?

    When I was choosing a college to attend, there was one thing that stood out at Lourdes that nobody else had. That was small classes. I've never had more than thirty people in a class and this has benefited me very well. If your the kind of person who like the teacher to know you personally rather than just be a face in the crowd then Lourdes is a great fit. This allows teachers to work one-on-one with you, which can improve social skills for your professional future.

    Lourdes University is a private organization that is strongly rooted in a belief in God.

Lourdes University has provided me with a learning environment conducive to that lifestyle and faith. Other schools that I considered were less expensive, but they did not have this Christian foundation of beliefs to enhance my educational experience.
