Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Journalism  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Creighton really is a unique place. As with any small(er), religious based school there are pro's and con's. I believe that Creighton's biggest negative is being in Omaha. I am from Florida and hated Omaha for a couple of years, but then it really grows on you. A lot of people who go to Creighton are "legacies" and yes, there can be some majors jerks, snobs, brats, etc, - you're going to find that any where! I met some of the greatest people i know at Creighton, it depends on who you want to hang out with! Creighton changed my life. Beyond all of the negative reviews people have put on this site (we don't want them here anyways!) you're going to get out of Creighton exactly what you put in. If you want to take full advantage of teachers, clubs, service trips, student programs, etc. you can easily do so. If you like to skate by w/o doing much, you can do that too. The short and sweet of it is this: Creighton University is about taking care of the whole person. You will not only get an excellent education that is challenging and stimulating, but you will also be challenged to be a better person. If you appreciate being a name instead of a number, i would highly suggest checking out Creighton. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B- Have a Question?

Midwesterners typically are. However, I hate this school for many reasons. Everyone acts the same. It has got to be the most boring student body I've ever come in contact with. No one seems to think outside of the box, and those that did left after my first semester. I did make some friends, and yes again people here are nice, but so freakin' provincial it's sick. The classes themselves are hit and miss. Some G.E.'s have the personality that their class is the only one your taking when you are forced to take it. That bugged me, but I'm sure that's not uncommon at other places. Just watch out who you take to complete your requirements. Omaha isn't a bad place, but people who think it's the be-all, end-all of cities annoy the hell out of me. It's not that great. It's an average medium sized city. Then again, I'm originally from Chicago, so my standards for a city are a bit higher. So taking this all into account, I would say Creighton is for you if you want to go somewhere that has a small town, friendly feel. Creighton and Omaha both feel that way. It's not the most exciting of places and it gets pretty old and boring quickly. But it's a safe, consistent place. However, I myself want something a little different. Next year I'm transferring to University of Central Florida. If I'm going to live in the "Big O", it's going to be Orlando. Campus Maintenance: A-, Social Life: D- Have a Question?

I found that many of my professors offered me excellent insight and cared about each students progress in his or her class. Depending on class size, professors were generally available and were interested and engaged with student problems, questions, or just conversation. However, administratively, I did have some negative experiences. I felt often times like I was just one of the many within the system. Working to get classes with the Registrar's office made me aware of a cold and unpleasant bureaucracy that one must cut through in order to ensure that I got into classes I wanted. Generally, I felt the administration did not cater to individual student needs, especially since many of the graduating criteria established at the Registrar's is arbitrary. I say this because most requirements are defined by the department of one's Major. However, I feel that this is probably something that occurs in several schools and since Creighton does have about 4000 undergraduates, I can understand the necessity of having some sort of standards, even if arbitrary, in order to ensure that students are taking the proper classes. I can see why some students would not like this university however. The classes are harder hear than state schools, and the level of performance is higher. Reachable professors to me means someone who will sit and chat with you about their subject matter, somewhat guide you, but generally let you work things out for yourself. Generally, Creighton's professors do not baby you. So to conclude, I have to say that the education I've achieved here has been excellent. This is due to the care of the professors to take direct interest in their students. While the administration is a bit over-bearing, I can understand because of the size of the school. In order to have the opportunities that Creighton has to offer, this is a necessary vice. The quality and overall feel of the campus is excellent and I would recommend coming to Creighton for anyone who is seeking a well-rounded and active educational experience.
