Am enjoying being here
a very social college, very close to Chicago, lots to do near campus, love the people there
Bang for the buck
it is a private, liberal arts school, so it is rather expensive, but a good quality education
Tips for prospective students
Do well on your ACT and grades and high school and you will get a good academic scholarship, but i would still expect to pay a good bit if you're not getting a lot of financial aid
Great for these types of students
people who like smaller class sizes and a more homey environment, don't mind cold weather, great school for architecture, youth ministry, music ministry, etc.

i love it! judson is the perfect place for me and i know it's where i belong. i feel as though i am really a part of the community here and that i am valued.
Tips for prospective students
come on a preview day: tour the campus, sit in on a few classes, come to chapel
Academic Rigor
it really depends on the classes you take, but i would say that i am challenged in what classes i am registered in and really enjoy them. your academic advisor can help you choose classes that are right for you.
Dorm Life
ohio hall, the freshmen girls' dorm, is awesome! the sense of community is so amazing and it's great to be able to walk down the hall and have a real conversation with so many different girls. the relationships that i've built here will last, that much i know.
Food and Dining
the food isn't 5 star, but i never really expected it to be. the only complaint i have is that the cafeteria has really set hours, so it can be annoying that you can't find food on campus late at night or at an awkward time in the afternoon
What to do for fun
there are many social events that take place on and off campus as well as dorm events every other week. we hang out around campus, play games, watch movies...normal college stuff
