Excellent. I felt super at home the minute I stepped foot on campus. I was recruited to play volleyball and the coach as well as the team made it feel like home to me. the embraced me as one of their own, and it felt amazing. The campus is really nice. It's not too spread out so everything is easily accessible.
It is a great school if you are looking for a private, christian school. They offer a variety of opportunities to grow as a person and in your faith. It is mostly a commuter school, and about 60% of the campus is an athlete. The staff and students are friendly, and it is a safe environment.
Did not feel academically challenged, easier than I had thought college would be. Felt like they admitted whoever would even apply. (theory as to why I had complete morons in all of my classes)The business department does not even have a business building or proper technology for a place of higher education. A lack of school spirit is strongly felt around campus and a lack of community involvement by the school. Many of the own residents of Elgin do not even know that there is a university in there town. Students tend to generally be very nice and welcoming just be careful not to party or you will be judged. It's a great place for people who are more than just strongly committed towards there relationship with Christ and want a career with ministry . A beautiful small campus with buildings within walking distance. In between a river, a highway, and a big avenue so going places like the store or restaurant Requires a car. If you don't have a car consider your college experience at Judson two fries short of a happy meal.
Very disappointed with this school and honestly regretting that I came here. Don't attend Judson if you are hoping for a really substantial Christian atmosphere, because their theology is not substantive, their chapels only serve as "feel good" sessions or social justice meetings, and the professors barely include any discussion about faith in their classes. The Biblical studies classes are a huge disappointment, because we don't really examine God's word, and they treat it as a piece of historical literature. We even had to read some completely heretical documents for my OT class. The school doesn't believe the Bible is inerrant, and students aren't required to sign a statement of faith to come here, so the Christian aspect is diluted. Go elsewhere if you are looking for a strong conservative Christian base.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Judson University is 74%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
My college experience has been life changing in that it has helped develop me into an adult as well as open doors for the future. I feel like a part of the campus and it is hard having to choose to attend or not just because it is expensive and I may not be able to pay. I feel so attached and a part of what is going on around the campus. Dorm life has opened me to new people and new experiences that I would not have ever been a part of. Look through my last two years I know I will be prepared for whatever life has for me after college. I have a strong faith to build on, a strong family, great friends, and a solid college education to begin a career with.
how much it cost and the dorms could be better
A very close knit community that attends chapel together and gets to know each other in small classes.
Someone who is interested in God or wants to learn more about Him, while attending a college with a strong community.
The proffessors are loyal, and they actually care and take time out of their schedule to help you.
The most frustrating thing for me is the required 8am classes
My class mates are extremely driven and are not afraid to ask questions.
The Architecture program since it is the only Christian school in the nation with this program.
How much reading there was to do!
A person who is not open new experiences, ideas and a person who is not open to diversity both cultural and religious should not attend Judson University (formerly Judson College).
Excellent teachers, great community environment, opportunity for personal and spiritual growth, awesome staff and faculty, very caring and personal president, quality of the sports programs, the convenience of stores and other resources in the area, the quality and comforting nature of the campus, and the quality of education at Judson University.
We are religion based and strive to be christ like. Have the freedome to worship with fellow students and feel welcomed.
