Hi, everyone! I've been contemplating going to Creighton University but I'm anxious about the campus size. Just how big is it and how does it feel? Is it too overwhelming or just right? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this!
Hey there!
Creighton University covers a relatively compact area in the heart of Omaha, Nebraska. It spans about 140 acres, which is considered medium in size. The campus buildings and features are close together, which can create a cohesive, tight-knit community feeling.
Many students appreciate the accessible size since it allows for easy navigation and prompt arrival to classes, even when they're on opposite sides of the campus. Also, despite being in a city, the campus has green spaces which can offer a bit of an escape from urban life.
Like any other college, whether the size is "just right" can be unambiguously subjective, as preferences can vary dramatically from one person to another. It could be helpful to plan a visit if you can, allowing you to personally gauge if the campus size aligns with your expectations and comfort level.
Keep in mind, too, that students usually adjust to their environment over time, so even if it feels slightly overwhelming at first, you will likely get used to it with time.
Hope this helps in your college decision process!
