Ok Bradley is what you make out of it simply put. If you want to further your education while having a good social life you can, but if you want to lock yourself in your room and study all day and night you can. Contrary to what people say, I think the administration is good but that is because I am in student government and meet with them all the time. The food is decent right now but its getting a lot better soon with the major renovation and expansion of one of the main dining halls which should be done by the beginning of spring semester 2011. The dorms are not all great but they are getting better with the major renovations they are getting this summer aka summer 2011. The campus is growing with new building and new expansions that are really going to make Bradley look really nice in the next couple of years. While greek life makes up 30% of the students on campus, there is a lot of extra curricular activities to do on campus if you aren't greek. That being said the greeks are the ones that throw the parties. Also contrary to common believe, the police on campus don't really care about drinking as much as people say, you will be ok as long as you are not running around screaming you head off about how drunk you are, and also walk in group when you leave parties. The good thing about safety is that most of the fraternities have risk manager who job is to find sober people to walk you back so you aren't alone. There are some things with security on campus that can be changed, and since the administration just finished a major multi million dollar security assessment, changes to the safety of the campus will be better soon. Also the student government that I am a part of has been working hard and has passed many resolutions this year that have been sent to the administration, and since the administration loves the student government our changes are being made as soon as possible. Lastly you will love President Glasser, she is everywhere and enjoys her students enough that she allows them to come to her office once a month to talk about whatever you want, I don't know many schools that the president does that. There is a lot of changes happening on campus that people don't know about because they aren't involved, so if you want to know the real deal about Bradley email me at my personal email address , and I will be glad to answer all your questions because I am involved on campus and I know all the changes that are happening.

Bradley is a unique university, to say the least. As an engineering student, I am constantly comparing Bradley to other universities, like Purdue, UIUC, and Marquette, and have found that Bradley has something that those places lack: a sense of family. Cheesy, I know, but that sense of family is something that immense state universities can never offer, but is something that is essential to a successful educational environment. The faculty truly cares about your success, and is willing to help you work towards your future. Sure, it isn't Harvard, but the teachers make it just as challenging as the big public schools. Peoria without a car is a boring wasteland, but there is plenty to get involved in on campus. The main reason that I chose Bradley was because of the MONEY! I'm paying less right now than I would be at Midwestern public universities! If you have a decent head on your shoulders they'll throw a ton of money at you to get you to come here, and it is definitely WORTH IT! So if you want to have faculty that speak English, never have a T.A., and have an overall great educational experience, there is no better place than Bradley.

I love and hate Bradley at the same time. I really like the campus, it's gorgeous and I love the small campus feel. As for the school, I think the majority of the teachers I've had (so far) are good, especially with the small classroom setting. It's a good school to get an education at. However, there is definitely nothing to do. Unless you party every weekend, there is nothing to do. If you like partying, you'll be fine and have a great time. Bradley made me feel comfortable about not partying because they said there is ALWAYS something going on. Wrong. Also, the campus is in a sketchy part of Peoria. I don't really feel safe walking around at night, especially off campus. It's a good school, I just feel like unless you party, there's not much to do.
