On my first day of school I asked a fellow student what he thought of McKendree. He said, "McKendree ain't no joke." I didn't understand what he meant by that but now I do. McKendree has a rigorous curriculum for students that are serious about their education. A person who is goal oriented, has good organization and time management skills and has a passion for learning should attend this school. The professors expect nothing less.

Someone who is serious about getting a degree, someone who is definitely not a party animal. Someone who's focused and determined.

All types of people would fit into McKendree. If you want a big school, it may not be the best choice, but the small classes are great to build relationships with teachers and other classmates. The school is also really focused on helping you succeed, your not just a number at McKendree, they actually care about your well-being.

There is no age, gender, or racial requirements for learning. Education and learning is a key to unlock greater opportunities for the future. Even when a person completes a degree, they will continue to learn from a job or an experience. Learning should be a life-long endeavor. All persons should be given opportunities to attend college if they desire, regardless of race, age, or gender.

If you like small classes and individual attention, making your own fun on weekends, being able to get out of bed 10 minutes before class starts and still making it to class on time, a beautiful historic campus, friendly staff members who are genuinely concerned about your success, and an atmosphere of family, McKendree would probably be a good fit for you.

I think a person who is happy with a small close- nit family and community should attend McKendree. Someone who likes the history of an old college and not a big commercialized one would enjoy McKendree. If you are looking for the characteristics of a big state university then McKendree is not for you, but if you are looking for the atmosphere of a small intimate college where you get to know your teachers in a small class-size, then McKendree is the perfect fit.

Someone who likes a small school atmosphere that is friendly and accomodating. The classes tend to be really small, so someone looking for a larger student community should not attend. There is a lot of athletics on campus, music programs and theater programs, so anyone interested in those areas should definitely apply. The most important thing would be someone looking for a small-town community feel and the desire to be involved and known.

Students that want an education & from an highly recommended university.

A person who is not afraid to sacrafice time should attend McKendree University. The amount of time you spend studying and participating in extra-curricular activities is astounding, and sometimes a bit overwhelming. However, give up time now and look back at what has been accomplished later. In retrospect, it is easy to see how much you've grown, just in a semester. The more you give, the more you will receive - and ultimately grow. A person who is not afraid to change should attend McKendree University.
