    The school has many free opportunities on campus. We have a free Wellness Center where you can set up an appointment and receive certain medications for free. They have many free activities throughout the year as well. The dorms are large and the food is great so I think we get a lot for our money here.

    Elmhurst College can be a bit pricey but what college or university isn't? Even though it can be expensive, financial aid and scholarships are given to meet or cut the cost thats best for you.

    What I learned is that Elmhurst doesn't want commuters to just go to their classes then go straight home, which is why getting involved on campus not only is beneficial, but is very fun at the same time. Also, the college offers scholarships and job opportunities to students to help make college affordable.
