It has been many years since I was a student at Moody.  I loved the school, the professors and made many friends.  It is a school where you go if you are a Christian and you want to grow in your beliefs.  I did not go into full time Christian work and found it a great learning environment.  Many people go to a liberal arts school and never get a job in their field.  When I was a student there were also people who disliked the school.  That is true of all schools.  But many more felt honored and excited to be there and to have the many opportunities that were available just by being in downtown Chicago area.  The problem with so many websites like this is that pretty much the only people who write are those who are very unhappy with their experience.  I still believe that you get out of education and that experience what you are willing to put into it.  Some want to play the “blame” game instead.  I find it surprising that many of those unhappy did not just leave at the end of the first semester but went there for several years.  Makes you believe that the school wasn't the only problem.  I would suggest that people looking at a school be careful in deciding something totally on the negative comments found in this or any other website about ANY school.

responseI found a lot of students didn't socialize that much and left MBI. I can't blame them--b/c I made a good effort to 'hang out' and found it to be a pretty dull boring school. I bet 30-40% actually graduate, and many of those people REALLY wanted out even by their junior year and were just sticking it out. I don't think MBI is anything like it was back in the 1970s--when people probably socialized a lot. Now it comes off as unfriendly commercialism.

One more thing--I suspect women have it slightly better than men at MBI--b/c there are easily more men than women.
 
responseI found a lot of students didn't socialize that much and left MBI. It was all a bit high-schoolish--like high school all over again. I can't blame them--b/c I made a good effort to 'hang out' and found it to be a pretty dull boring school.

responsePeople were just plain MUCH friendlier in 1960s and 70s, and the students at MBI were no different. I attended MBI in late 90s, and found it quite unfriendly and would expect it to be only slightly better now--not b/c of in-person friendliness but b/c of things like Facebook, etc. So yes, the view that MBI is not that friendly has some real merit today.
