    Although I love RU, I do have to admit that sometimes feel like I can't afford to go to school there. It is a private, Jesuit university so that automatically means that it is going to cost more than a state university, but I do wish it cost a little less to attend. I must admit that there are an exponentially large number of scholarships available for students seeking to attend Rockhurst University, so that's a plus! Student activity fees are definitely worth paying for because SAB (Student Activities Board) include free movie nights, catering, etc. read full review
