Quite Bright
Went for 4.5 years... thanks to my advisor.
I can count on one hand how many truly inspiring and influential professors I had. The rest only saw me as a dollar sign. Most didn't care about my progress and really didn't know or care if their information was getting across. I failed my math class freshman year, which tells you how good I am at math, and I spent a good portion of class correcting my professor

I had an English professor who waited until the last 3 weeks of class to tell us he had been grading us daily on how we dressed. Being a seriously injured athlete on crutches for 2 months, wore sweatpants everyday. I failed that class also. I always had been a good writer. His topics were outrageous and he treated the course as if Iwas going for my doctrate.

My history professor gave C++-++'s.... whatever that means.
Not to mention the school will do anything in it's power to prevent you from trying to accomplish anything. They threatened my parents saying they didn't pay their bill when my parents insisted they had they refused to double check their records. I had to go in with the receipt they sent us and prove it to them before they went back and checked.

If you're older than a sophomore, good luck living on campus.
If you're hungry good luck eating. The cafeteria is always closed and when it's open 50% of the time you have to eat your meal elsewhere because they have something going on in the cafeteria and won't let you eat there.

Parking is a nightmare.
They're 3 million in debt yet can afford to replace the perfectly good menus in the caf with plasma tv menus... who needs that ever?

Also, a multimillion dollar house was built for the president... who doesn't even life there because it's "unsuitable to live in". Excuse me?

Want to party and meet people? Better join a team and befriend an arrogant, piggish football player because they're the only ones who have parties. Enjoy getting groped at them. Social life sucks at Elmhurst. The entire town practically shuts down after 9:00pm.

Taco Bell is 3.2 miles away.
Don't go here, you WILL regret it.The end.

Elmhurst College social atmosphere is about as fun as watching paint dry. Also, too many uglies and fatties. MOO.
