Overall CUC is a great place if you want that small university near a big city feel. Students get a lot of opportunities to network and establish relationships that benefit them in the future.

It is rather expensive, but almost everyone receives a scholarship to help them out.

Concordia may be expensive, but you get a lot for your money and the experience is worth every cent! Everything, the location, the classes, the people you meet, the clubs you can join and the teams you can be a part of makes Concordia the special school it is!

Whats really cool about becoming a new student at Concordia is the Jump Start program all new students go through. Its basically your orientation process which is an all day event, but the best part is at the end of the day you go downtown to Chicago. A lot of students are from out of state so getting a chance to see Chicago is a awesome experience. Also just the location of the campus is not far from Chicago which provides the students opportunities that other students not from the Chicago land area.

It is an expensive school but it is perfect for me. I want to be a Lutheran elementary school teacher. It is a private school that used to be a teachers college and it is small and close-knit which is the kind of surrounding in which I can thrive.
