McKendree University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is probably the food. Because the food is repetitive it seems like we eat the same thing all the time.

The parking is probably the worst thing about my school. Its so hard to find a parking support most days.

I believe the worst thing about McKendree is that there doesn't seem to be much of a campus community. Because it is surrounded by a small town community, there isn't too much outside activities for students to participate in, even though there are attempts to help students stay involved, through volunteer activities as well as others on campus.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of resources for community service. There are limited community service programs and activities for students to take part in on and off campus.

The worst thing about McKendree is the outdatedness of equipment. It's not state funded; but rather, it relies on endowments and tuition to keep the school running. This makes for outdated equipment and space. Regardless of such, the school continues to pour money into lawn care (contracts with lawn care companies to blow leaves, water grass several times a day, etc). To me, it's a nasty waste of money. Additionally, a staggering amount of scholarship money is awarded to those who play sports, even when their grades are lacking. It's almost dispicable.

The worst thing about my school is that it is pretty small and there is not a huge demographic of students.

I believe there should be more types of dance classes and I would also like if McKendree University had a Show Choir because I enjoyed it a lot while at Althoff Catholic High School and I would like to see McKendree expand in their Performing Arts department.

With with many great factors about McKendree, the worst-case-scenario is when the cafeteria comes up with a variety of food that is somewhat distasteful.

McKendree University is a great school with endless possibilities. It has a great location where it is only twenty minutes from downtown St. Louis. But McKendree University is stuck in Lebanon, IL. Not that Lebanon is not a great little town, but it is little. It has a population of around 5,000 people. And being me, the fun, out-going girl, a small school can be a little cramped with the dreams a girl has for the future. That would be the only downfall that McK has, the size of the school and the hometown location.
