Both have different feels, but are great in their own ways. Both have plenty to do (outdoors - Spokane), and city life (Chicago). The students are friendly, but often quite busy due to a lot of coursework and extra requirements (such as Practical Christian Ministry work). Regardless of where you go, you will get great professors, but Spokane is much more of a relaxing and academically creative environment compared to Chicago. Chicago has much more tradition and history compared to the former, but either place will provide a quality education. Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: F Have a Question?

They could ratchet up some of the first year courses which are a lot of "busy work". The faculty are great, but the Residence Life and student support services are deathly. Moody needs to treat it students better: they wonder why they all graduate and never donate. I believe in the mission of Moody. Its just sad how bad they've become at doing it. Students are treated like cattle by every department except the faculty. Its almost hilarious how the school runs for the sake of donors, not the students themselves. A school that thinks little of its students=MBI. Surrounding City: A+, Individual Value: D- Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I can't tell you if it is different now or not, because I have no desire to go back. At MBI there was no place to hang out or have fun other than dorm lounges that are low key and only a few people having real conversations. There was NO DATING at this school. Looking for that special Christian "someone"? When I attended NO ONE DATED. They just "holed up" and tried to get out of MBI. It got so bad that a professor who was there in the 60s-70s held sessions on the problem until MOODY SHUT HIM DOWN. This is quite true and did occur. PCMs often were not good. MBI had a lot of criticism from this, and basically said if your PCM is bad--it's YOUR FAULT. That however is not the case, the problem is the city, the churches, Moody's connections, and to some extent only individuals and how the assignments were done/organized. Is MBI BIBLICAL or teach enough Bible? In some things, yes--some professors do a great job-- but overall, it's NOT NEARLY BIBLICAL AS NEW STUDENTS THINK (and no, I'm not Catholic or a pagan who slipped in the door). New students are often FLOORED by how Biblical it is--but this is due to a lack of Bible in society--not a strong Bible program at MBI. PRO-UNIVERSITY EVENTS - IT's EVERYWHERE. It seemed most of my time at MBI was bouncing from event to event--the 10/40 window, founder's week, chapel, live radio, singers, music, etc.. It can be fun, but honestly I don't really remember ANY of it and it didn't help me connect with Chicago communities nor MBI students nor help my walk with Christ. The propaganda is so strong that it almost mind-washes certain people. This is about as frank as you can get on a review and it took me a while to sort it out. I WISH this review had been positive, but that was not my experience. Scholastic Success: B, Social Life: F Have a Question?
