The choice of a college/university may be the most important
decision you have yet to make. Please know there is no definitive
procedure in selecting the college/university that is right
for you. In the United States, hundreds of excellent colleges
and universities provide students the best education in the
world. I am sure that all the colleges and universities to
which you apply will have excellent faculty, a record of accomplishment
of successful graduates, and many extra-curricular programs
for you.
Dr. William Carroll President, Benedictine University/Springfield
College in Illinois
Benedictine University is no exception. We have all of
the above and more. While a medium sized Catholic and Benedictine
institution, Benedictine University's reach is worldwide.
As a liberal arts institution, we seek to prepare you for
a profession and for life. The University boasts nationally
recognized programs from science to business, renowned faculty-all
in a value-laden environment. Additionally, the University
sports center is a state of the art complex (in fact, several
professional teams have called Benedictine University Sports
Complex "home").
So, how do you pick the college/university that is right
for you in addition to having the programs you wish to pursue?
After seeing students come and go over several decades,
the magic, I believe, is in the chemistry between you and
the institution. When you walk on campus, ask yourself a
very simple question. Does this college/university feel
right for me? Do I feel like I can grow and prosper here?
If your answer is yes, you are home. If your answer is no,
seek another institution.
I invite you to visit our campus and to experience the
very special hospitality for which Benedictines are known.
Come and see us. Ask questions and tour the campus, for
you just might find yourself at home.
Come and see us. You are always welcome.
