Jessica

It is a private, religion-based university with an overwhelming welcoming environment. The professors, advisors, and aides are always willing to take time out for one-on-one discussions. The professors and advisors are very goal-oriented for their selves as well as for their students. They're expectations are high but not out of reach. The relationship between the students and teachers is kind of personal; the staff really cares about every students' future. Also, what other school has a dance party in a brick pit with lots of foamy bubbles?! McKendree is a school based on the students.

I am currently in the BSN program at McKendree which offers a majority of its classes online. This makes it much easier for me to go back to school to complete by degree while still working and raising a family.

McKendree University is unique in the fact that the professors and doctors truly care about the students and want them to do well. As a student at McKendree you are not just a number, but a student that professors and other faculty all get to know. Since at McKendree everyone gets to know one another, you basically become like a family.

The campus is small, and instructors seem genuinely concerned for my success. In other colleges (and universities) I considered or have attended, I felt more like part of the "herd" being cattle-proded through their system. McKendree has provided me with a long overdue hope of realized success and completion of my degree - something I never received from other institutions. McKendree's adult program has been more convenient that others in the area, making it possible to study while engaging my career and family life! It's been a wonderful experience from the start!

Marcy

Its relatively small and very expensive, a factor that I enjoy because the campus is extremely beautiful.

Christine

The people I met. I know everywhere you go there are great people, but everytime I am on campus I meet someone new who can teach me something for my future. I found my best friends here who taught me to golf. It is close to home so I often see old friends from my past. The school has "brown bag" lunches where you can bring your lunch and listen to a speaker about thier experiences from studying abroad, traveling, working experience, political issues and more. Lastly, almost everyone is an athlete, so I can really relate to them.

Leah

MCK is about 15-20 minutes outside of St. Louis. This means that you have a country feeling with pretty scenery but you also have a mall 10 minutes away along with all the fast food you could imagine and all of the city life. such as clubs and major sporting venues.

Tonya

Firstly I would like to inform you that McKendree College is now McKendree University. This was changed July 2006. My school is unique because it is the oldest college in Illinois and with that comes a lot of tradition and rich history. As a future Social Science educator, this was important to me to have a school that had a deep history and was well founded. McKendree University fulfils this requirement.

Its alot smaller which is good because its easier to get to your class and around the campus. Also, you meet more people becuase you are so close.
