Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot This college had provided me with the opportunity to take classes that no matter what the subject I learn a lot. My general courses and my specified classes are all very informational for life itself. The professors know how to relate life to the classes and then also to our Christian beliefs. I feel that I am learning things that will provide me with a good base foundation for life no matter where I might end up. I am not sure how much I really can say other than I am learning a lot at this school and can’t wait to learn more!
Am enjoying being here I knew choosing this school was right. I had only interacted with a few people for various visiting days, but now that I am a resident I am truly experiencing college. My friends and professors are amazing. Everyone is so friendly that I can say hello to a complete stranger and they will reply the same and even hold the door open for me. This college has such a perfect community I never saw such good things happening after high school. Everyone has left the high school drama behind and commenced a new higher knowledgeable life at the school. Everyone is willing to help one another including the professors to make sure that each student is learning to their highest ability with the writing center and personal tutors and questions answered directly from the professor. I don’t think I could ever ask for a better college to spend so much time at.
Bang for the buck Considering this is a private school there is a lot of bang for the buck. A lot of stuff is covered by the school and made reasonable for the students. A lot of activities are brought to campus and as a member of the Campus Activities Board we try to bring the best entertainment for our students. I have hardly been here for a full school year yet, but I know that I have so much more to look forward to than what I have already experienced and it has already been amazing.
Tips for prospective students Prospective students if you are not sure what you are looking for but know that you want to find people that care for you and will help you make college an easy transition this is it. Friends are made with a quick flip of the wrist playing Frisbee. Its amazing how friendships are made and how amazing they become. These are definitely friends for life, and don’t be afraid going to school where you don’t know anyone, after a few days it will seem like you have known your new friends forever.
Great for these types of students There are all sorts of students on campus and anyone can find their place. Anyone can find friends with similar interests no matter how bizarre, and the best is that we all know and accept that people are different.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Concordia is a great school! The teachers genuinely care if you do well or not and if you are willing to work hard, they will help you succeed. They also offer tutoring, they have different labs you can go to to get homework help and the teachers are willing to meet with you personally to help you with any problems you may have.
Am enjoying being here I really like that fact that everyone is so friendly here. The campus is small so we are all like one big happy family. The school always has great activities planned for students and there is never a dull moment.
Bang for the buck I was surprised at how much tuition and all the fees include. For example, all campus activities are free to students and they offer a lot of great programs to help students achieve greatness. The price may surprise you but in the end it is worth it.
Tips for prospective students Some tips for future students would be to get involved!! There is always so much to do so jump in and have fun! Also make sure to manage your time well. Writing papers until all hours of the night is no fun! So say goodbye to your friends and get to work.
Great for these types of students If you are a shy, easy going person then you would fit in great! It is a quiet campus and everyone is friendly. Concordia is also a Lutheran school so it is a nice environment to be in compared to other universities or colleges.

Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot I learned more about the people I was around and their stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a great amount of diversity on campus, and it is fantastic to be around and be involved in.
Did enjoy being here I absolutely loved going to school here! It was absolutely what I wanted. The friends I made made a huge impact on my life. Everyone is extremely personable.
Tips for prospective students If you are not sure if you would like to visit, take a campus visit and talk to current students and professors. Everyone loves to talk!
Great for these types of students Concordia is a great school for students looking for a personal, smaller college environment. The classes are small and the professors know you by name. It is also a great distance from downtown Chicago, which is fun to go to on the weekends! It is also in a fantastic residential area.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Concordia Chicago is a great college with many people who want to get to know you. Despite it's flaws, such as people forming their own clicks, there is a lot of community. The classes are efficient as well.
Tips for prospective students Be cheerful, be positive, talk to the pastor on campus, make friends, and ignore those who do not mean any good to you. Most of all though, get involved.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor is definitely strong.
Dorm Life Dorm life is alright. I wish there was an air conditioning though.
Food and Dining The food is alright. It is definitely not one of the big highlights of the campus.
What to do for fun There are plenty of activities.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Concordia is an awesome place to be. Most everyone you meet on campus is very focused on their relationship with God. Everyone that I have met have been extremely welcoming to new people on campus.
Tips for prospective students Get a transit card and put money on it so on the weekend you can go into the city or if its cold and you do not feel like walking all the way to the store you can catch a ride. Go to chapel, its everyday at 11am. Go to prayer and praise on sunday nights. It is time to worship God and during the prayer time you can get to know people you didn't know before. Play frisbee in the triangle others will join you and you will make new friends. Also make sure to study. Use the library or perhaps sit in the art gallery and study.
Academic Rigor Academics are important here but that is the whole point of college.
Dorm Life I consider it great.
Food and Dining The food is alright but there is always charlie ts later on where you can get exactly what you want. Or if you are not in the mood for something from the cafeteria, order in food or walk to someplace and get it.
What to do for fun Play frisbee in the quad, play obscure board games with other friends, play pool, hang out and talk, play red ball, go to cab sponsored events, or go into the city

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The small class size allows for a more personal learning experience.
Am enjoying being here There are hardly any enjoyable school events. After football season I fall off into my studies and rarely have any reason to interact with the school.
Bang for the buck Too pricey.
Great for these types of students If you are planning on being a Lutheran teacher then this school is ideal for you. But, this school does not help me with my exercise science ambitions.
