I attended Bradley in the 1980's for my freshman & sophomore years. I transferred to the University of Connecticut for my junior & senior years, then completed a masters degree at Southern Methodist University in Texas, so I've been around. My experience at Bradley was generally positive. Everyone I knew seemed to be reasonably intelligent and friendly. The Greeks were everywhere (I was in a fraternity), but back then it was easily possible to have fun and not be Greek. The professors were helpful. The campus was clean and safe. And Bradley was a nice size (not a little "college", and not a huge Big 10 school either). The only negative I can think of was that 80% of the students were from the Chicago suburbs. Since I was from out of state, I didn't know much about Chicago; but that was NOT a huge problem. Overall, I liked Bradley a lot. If you want a medium-sized, private, Midwestern school, Bradley would be a good choice (if things haven't changed too much in 30 years).

Bradley University has a great engineering program. It is challenging for sure, but every professor I've had has always been willing to help you in their class. Class sizes are small and most professors know you by name. However, Bradley is not just an engineering school. There are many other great majors here you can take. It's also more interesting to go to school with more than just a bunch of engineering and science students.

As a Senior Civil Engineering Major, I would recommend two things: (1) Understand that after first semester Sophomore Year, you will have constant weekly assignments and labs to submit, in addition to having exams scheduled closely together/same days; (2) Don't waste time "exploring" interests for a semester as they would have you believe you can afford. If you're getting into CE Major, I highly recommend taking CE classes asap to prevent tougher class schedules later on (say having 3 laboratory classes in one semester). Good Luck!
