I loved my time at Elmhurst College. I majored in Biology. Some other comments have stated that the classes are a joke or easy. This may be true in other majors, but the science program is very challenging. The science professors are fantastic. Nearly all professors in my department had an open door policy for meeting with them outside of class. All of the professors were incredibly dedicated. In my major I spent a great deal of time in the Chemistry department as well. Both departments went above and beyond. The classes are taught by people who are truly passionate about their subject and want to share that passion with their students. As a hard science major, it can be difficult to find the time to study abroad, but EC was incredibly flexible with credit transfer. If you'd like an abroad experience EC has a TON of them. I spent a summer and a semester abroad. The International Study Dept is great. My experiences at EC directly led to my receipt of a Fulbright Grant. The Bio and Chem departments prepared me well for my MCAT. I've been accepted to the medical school of my choice. I could not have asked for more from the school.

I definitely suggest that you make sure that you are dedicated to your major and are passionate about what you want to study because it will most likely be what you are spending the rest of your life doing. For those who are Biology majors like me, make sure you put in sufficient study time so that you do not become overwhelmed. Also for those who plan on attending graduate school, start in on a research program with a professor as soon as possible in your college career. Starting research early will greatly prepare you for graduate research.

Honestly, it's not the best college. Faculty is great and the teachers are really willing to help you. However, I feel like I wasted my time coming here. The great thing is that I found a group of friends that I am really close with. Tuition is crazy, not even worth it. If you do decide to come here, my advice to you is pick a major before you come and get all your general education classes at a community college.
