I'm currently considering Benedictine College for my undergrad studies but would love to hear from students who've been there. How's the academic rigor? Campus culture? Any insight or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
As I haven't personally attended Benedictine College, I can't provide personal experiences, but I can share with you some insights I've gathered from talking to students who've attended or are currently attending the college.
To start, many students praise Benedictine for its tight-knit campus community, which often translates into supportive relationships with professors and peers. This sense of community is a defining feature of the college, and it resonates strongly across the student body. Benedictine's Catholic identity is a key part of this community, and many of the college's traditions and clubs reflect this tradition.
Academically, Benedictine is often rated as moderate to rigorous. Of course, this can vary based on your major and how many credits you're taking. While the workload can be heavy at times, students have remarked that the faculty is generally understanding and willing to help them succeed.
Campus life is somewhat centered around faith and service activities, with plenty of opportunities for both. In addition, athletics is also a big part of the college culture, with the college showing strong performances in NAIA athletics.
When it comes to facilities, Benedictine's campus is often described as being small but well-maintained, with the college putting continuous effort into updates and improvements.
Lastly, Kansas's weather might be a bit of an adjustment if you're not used to it as it can get pretty chilly in the winter.
But remember, what works for one person might not work for another. The best way to get a feel for the college is to visit if possible, talk to current students and alumni, and consider your personal preferences and goals.
