Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Creighton can be a really good experience or a really bad experience, depending on what kind of person you are. If you want an environment similar to high school, a somewhat smaller campus and easy access to teachers, this isn't a bad place to go to school. At the same time, if you want a campus full of diversity, lots of activity and students that want to challenge things, I wouldn't come to Creighton. I've had a fine experience, not great, not terrible. The Midwest isn't my favorite place in the world, but the people are nice enough and Omaha is a decent place to call home for four years. At the same time, the only activity people really participate in is drinking, so whether it's a house party, a bar in the Old Market, or a Creighton basketball game, be prepared to see a lot of alcohol. Most of the teachers are friendly, though some have an arrogance about them, but I think that's college professors in general. I don't want to stay in Nebraska after graduation, so hopefully my degree will help me get a job elsewhere. Overall, I'd give the school a 6.5 out of 10. Some might love it, others won't.

My dad went to Drake and had only nice perceptions of Creighton. I was from far away and had no idea of what the midwest was like. I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, I did join a frat and it expanded my ability to socialize and even helped me win a student government office. I've made friends from all over the US (since many do come from all over). Most importantly, CU helped me realize my dream of becoming a doctor. I was not the best student and I didn't get in the first time. But with perserverance and hard work, I was able to squeek by their admissions criteria. Now I have a wonderful practice and my children also chose to go to Creighton when they could have gone anywhere else in this country (valedectorian and good SAT's). And they were raised in California. You make your college experience what it is. I made the most of mine and only have fond memories of CU. I donate generously to the school that helped me fulfill my dream and my experience there almost made me decide to stay in the midwest (which I'm glad I didn't now). Midwesterners are honest, hardworking people. Their values and ethics are much better than what you find on the coasts. I'm very happy my children chose CU... I just hope it helps them get to where they want to in life. Individual Value: A, Education Quality: B+ Have a Question?

I opened up to all sorts of new things and made friends that will last a lifetime. Choosing to live in Gallagher hall was a good decision. Within the first 3 weeks we had already developed an 'open door, open floor' policy, and I would leave my room unlocked, often with the door open so anyone could come in and play some Halo or Call of Duty or perhaps just masturbate on the couch, whichever seemed the most appealing. Oh and the drugs. Oh god the drugs. Easy access to the best weed from several sources available both on and off campus. The night life was pretty good too, always some sort of party going on somewhere that you could go get fucked up at. Man, that was awesome. Oh, but the administration sucks ass. They kicked me out for doing some general prank shit that was nonviolent and nondamaging to any property. What a bunch of assholes. The people rock, though. YEAH!

I graduated with a bachelor of science in atmospheric science. First off, if you are thinking of going into that line of work.....AVOID this institution at all costs. I do understand that much of the department has changed; and the former master chief of the department has left. However, the university's structure will always be the same. Campus life was horrid. If you were either a jock, or an alcoholic; you were in like flint. I was neither....and was treated as an outcast. I, like many others walked to class each day with my head facing the bricks on the mall. I spent most of my days in my dormroom, trying to study over loud music and the stench of pot smoke wafting under my door. I mostly avoided the cafeteria, as I didn't have much to talk about with my fellow, hungover students. That sums up campus life. Academic life.....well, this is a touchy subject. There were a few departments that I actually enjoyed. One in particular was the history department. Everything about this department was excellent. The theology department also gets top ratings. Fantastic professors with free thinking minds; whom appreciated other free thinking minds. That is all. Every other aspect of this university, academically was horrid. The atmospheric science department was headed by a domineering egomaniacal quack. I watched the department go to hell in a handbasket through backdoor politics, false rumors and inflated egos. I also witnessed the few absolutely fantastic professors in the department get booted out the back door of the university through tenure denials and other various forms of career based blackmale. The university would be hard pressed to reveal any of this information to the "applying" public; however, don't be fooled people. This crap happens all the time. Unfortunately I found myself trapped in the politics of this department. I was commissioned through the work study program to be a professor's TA. This was my first mistake. I soon witnessed, and became interwoven in such a tightly woven web of unethical behavior; it was unfathomable. To this day, I still have nightmares about that place. I'm sure if you do a little research you will find whom I refer to as an ego-maniacal quack. The only way I can describe this man is psychologically damaging. He was a pessimist to the bone. If you weren't in his crowd, you were his enemy. His crowd consisted of "A" students and rotc students. If you were neither, you could expect to be treated like yesterday's garbage. This same, bully-like behavior was displayed towards the staff as well. It was an absolutely horrendous display....unfortunately for me, very eye opening......most certainly not what I was paying thousands of dollars per semester to witness. I finished out my remaining semester with my sanity through various self study courses and graduated a semester before the rest of my class. I feel sorry for those whom didn't follow my accelerated path out of that loony bin. Conclusion....If you would like a fun, well organized college experience, don't attend Creighton University. Just do yourself and your pocketbook a favor and avoid it. Just as a previous post has listed, noone outside of the Omaha metro has even heard of the place. Your academics would be better pursued at a local community college. However, if you would like a sad taste of reality, negative attitudes and loads of college debts......by all means, attend Creighton University. Again, please think twice about your college choices. This is a mistake that many people have to live with for many years. Choose your school wisely. Also, remember people; just because a certain institution costs more, does NOT mean it is any better. Seek boundless opinions about your schools of choice. Read the positives and seek out the negative reviews within every inch of your being. I wish I had. Hopefully you do not make the same mistake I did. Good luck. Useful Schoolwork: C-, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
