I am a non traditional student that is finally about to finish college. I have atteneded several colleges and I have found the worst thing about any college is the cost of education. Many times my class selection had to be reduced because I could not pay the required tuition, fees and book costs. I feel that I am fortunate to have this be the worst thing about school.

Dating back towards the mid 1800s, the school was originally an all boys Methodist campus and today the school is integrated with a catholic church. However, the historical building that deck the settlement could use a little extra care especially the water fountain on my dorm floor which is often used as a sink for spitting out toothpaste and draining ramen noodle than a place where one could get a drink. On the other hand, after watching a girl pouring vomit down one of the sink's drain, in comparison, the fountain does seem a tab bit safer.

I consider the worst part about McKendree University is sometimes it is hard to get enough people to join a class to obtain the required amount of students needed to have the class.

The worst thing about my school would be the lack of extracurricular intrest by students. While McKendree offers many opprotunites to be active and participate, students are focused on varisty sports and academics. On weekends and nights, the campus is quite deserted, many students commute or return home on weekends.

Living off campus can be tough for students on this small campus. They may have a hard time adapting to the "campus life" everyone is looking for because you are often not around when on-campus students are bonding. Additionally, living off campus is not the best because when you live on campus you can bond when you eat meals in the dining hall, live with people you may have never met, or miss out on the spontaneous events that just pop up on campus.

McKendree University is the oldest college in Illinois. The campus is very beautiful and the buildings are tucked in by each other. The dorms, labs, and classrooms are not as updated as the other colleges in Illinois. These "updates" do not affect the education that you would be recieving at all.

I'd have to say that the worst thing about my school is how small it is. I'd prefer to get to know more people, especially more with different backgrounds. However, if what you're looking for is a small school in a small town, then this school is absolutely perfect for you.

My school is an off campus location so I miss out on many of the luxuries that are found on the main campus.

The worst thing about McKendree is that it is not wheelchair accessible at all. The school however can be fully accessed if a person has use of their legs. This is the worst thing because people who cannot use their legs are unable to use many of the services offered for students. Additionally, the offfice of students with a disablity is located on the third floor of a bulding with no elevator.

Probably the fact that we are largely a commuter school and it becomes almost deserted on the weekends
