    A wonderful school, the professors are more than willing to help with anything that I am struggling with. The campus life is always fun filled and there is always something going on. Great college experience.

    Tips for prospective students

    This isn't a stacker school, so if unwilling to study this problably isn't the school for you.
    If you are looking for a challenge this school can help in that area.
    Make sure to bring clothes for the weather, winter coat, hat, gloves, shorts, flip flops, and a great smile-the weather is always changing.

    Academic Rigor

    I think the academics are challenging, but not so hard that I fail my test. I study hard but it's because I want the great grades. If you do C work that's what you will get, but if you work hard to get that A, it will happen.

    Dorm Life

    I don't know I live off campus

    Food and Dining

    I don't eat on campus

    What to do for fun

    briar cliff is a wonderful place. you get whatever help you need in any class and the classes aren't too big so it's perfect if you're someone who asks a lot of questions like myself. briar cliff teaches you very well, and the teaching staff are courteous and friendly.

    Academic Rigor

    although the classes are fun and interesting, they provide tons of challenges that will work your brain and prove to be difficult.

    Dorm Life

    the dorm life is fun because you have all your friends very close to you. and they are coed. however, you don't have too much privacy in the bathroom areas, and there should be more laundry and washer machines on each floor.

    the food quality is very good but some days you have to go out and eat somewhere. you get a good amount of food for the price that you pay. the employees working are very nice and friendly as well.

    there are many things to do for fun. go watch a basketball game, go out and watch some football, go catch a show at tyson events center, omaha isn't too far away, sioux falls is a fun town and its about an hour away, and the best thing to do is just go out with friends and you will have many unforgetting memories.

    Bang for the buck

    the price to attend should be lowered, but the overall experience of bcu is awesome. you meet so many people and have great times and i definitely recommend it for a student who wants to get away from home.
