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.

In restrospect, the college has been our family school of choice. Its small, yet competitive. The older I get, the more I realize, that with any place its what you make out of it. This School has one of the most cohesive student bodies, and wonderful faculty. I currently work for a University, and the more you realize what's out there, the happier I have become with my choice to attend EC. Wonderful FA office, whos director is quite an amazing lady. Overall only have had fond memories of this place. If you are in it, for the giggles, go to a community college, if you are looking to get a strong and competitive education, its one of the best schools locally.

I love this school. I'm set to graduate soon, and I couldn't be more grateful for Elmhurst College. The only problems I have ever faced on campus have been related to non-faculty / staff members. The professors for the most part are quite challenging, yet kind and helpful. Students here are far from snooty and there is always something to do on campus. If I could go back in time, I would definitely pick EC again.
