| Quite Bright | This university sucks hard!!!! If you are an off campus student in the summer you are not allowed to eat in the cafeteria. The food at the little want-to-be cafe will make you sick espeaically the sandwiches. You run into a lot of racists on campus (faculty included). And they (the university) will try every which way to steal your money. People have been charged for dorms they never lived in and never signed up for. Also the class selection is extremely limited an it gets worse in summer. | Campus Maintenance: B, Individual Value: F |  | | |

I transferred to Lindenwood as a married Junior, but I felt as if I was walking into the Twilight Zone. The campus housing we were given (at the cost of $3500 for each of us) had mold dripping down the walls, abandoned furniture, a completely unusable kitchen and bathroom, a padlocked garage filled with abandoned junk and more. The house had been broken into previously and was secured with an abandoned pianoe pushed against the back door. The houses and dorms are just gross.
I took heart in the idea that at least the education wouldn't be hard. It's less challenging than SLU and the community college. But, the teachers could care less about you and don't have the resources to help you. This school is not online as of Spring 2008. The most you can do online are some WEBCT quizzes. The lindenwood email has never worked for me. In fact, one of my teachers gave her class her personal email because it doesn't work for her either.
I carried a 3.5 GPA before transferring here, where I now find myself penalized for trying. Teachers will give me poor grades and say I am "too advanced" for the class.
Good luck dealing with the business office. They won't even look you in the eyes or move away from their perch/hiding spot. I worked a month of Work & Learn (A program where the government pays directly towards your tuition in exchange for students working on campus). The business office refuses to apply my work and learn to my balance. They want me to pay my balance out of pocket. So I've basically worked 40hrs free for them and I'm getting charged late fees.
Campus safety is a joke. I don't go near the campus after it gets dark. Every girl I know is scared to even be alone. The girls tend to form little groups to get by. I hear a lot of stories about rapes, especially gang rapes. There's a lot of pressure to hush things up and calling the police can get you into big trouble with the school.
What really unnerves me is how the school states they have a right to "enter any dormitory or campus housing, at any time, for any reason. Furthermore, un-announced inspections may be carried out several times throughout the year. This policy extends to bookbags and vehicles." We've had Lindenwood security in our house several times. They touch my clothes and rifle through our stuff while we are not in the house. One time a guy walked into the house while I was in the shower. Save yourself a huge headache and don't come near this school. I'm praying simply to be able to pay off this school and leave without further drama. | |  | | |

I would only recommend this school to one group of students. If you have been offered the Bright Flight scholarship grant through Lindenwood, and you plan on living off campus,(at home with parents, OFF campus house or apartment, etc.) You might enjoy LU, Otherwise, I cannot recommend this institution.
While the academics are solid at LU and you can get a decent education, The campus life is completely dead. The dormitories do not allow visitation of the opposite sex, and student centers are not built for students to socialize. since most of the students live in the area, the majority of the people leave campus to hang out leaving LU a ghost town unless there are classes are being held.
If you are thinking about living in campus housing, or a dorm, I urge you to reconsider. First and foremost, this campus is increasingly becoming more dangerous. Since I have been attending, A man was shot in his car just outside of campus, and a women was stabbed in the women's on-campus housing. In addition, LU is a private university, if they want, they are allowed to tell local law enforcement to remain off campus even in some emergency situations. An officer of St. Charles county told me that the university actually asks the department not to patrol the area around LU because the ILLUSION of safety is more important than ACTUAL safety. Sure, there is a police substation on campus, Honestly, I have seen only two patrol cars on campus since.
LU has also taken every opportunity they have been given to prove to me that they care nothing for their students well being, and they seem to do anything they can to grab more money.
IF you are currently speaking with a LU recruiter, be careful you get every promise he or she makes in writing. My recruiter made some promises that turned out to be bold faced lies, and my four year degree will end up costing me thousands of dollars more than my originally "promised" contract. If you go to LU you will be mistreated, frustrated, and treated like a child. LU will rob you of a good college experience. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Individual Value: F |  | | |
