    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

    judson is the perfect small private christian college. your college experience is based on how you invest your time and gifts, and at judson you have every opportunity to grow through your education, athletics, student life, and spiritually. time at judson is well worth the investment.

    Tips for prospective students

    be proactive. there are so many opportunities and place to be involved. judson is growing, so make a mark in your time because you will not get these years back.

    Academic Rigor

    depending on the programs, but since it is a liberal arts school you get a taste of everything. the classes push you and help you learn outside of the classroom so you are ready for the real world.

    Dorm Life

    wilson hall is the definition of male dorm life, (sorry girls). dorm life is real and authentic. it is the other half of your life besides your education.

    Food and Dining

    things are changing and as the school gets bigger and grows the better things will become.

    What to do for fun

    45 mins from chicago, walking distance from downtown elgin, easy access, tons of on-campus events including athletics. lots of opportunities, find what you like!

    Bang for the buck

    it is worth the money, it is tough for me to find ways to pay, but judson and their staff and helped as much as possible. god has had a purpose for me here and i haven't had a problem here.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    wilson hall is tradition. underwear run, dance videos, cookouts, you name it. but there is always room for more, create your own legacy.

    Great for these types of students

    fun, outgoing, athletic, international..this school emcompasses so many people groups and people types you are bound to get connected somewhere.

    Clubs and Activities

    find a way to get involved with jso (student government), university ministries, or athletics, or create your own group on campus.

    Campus Safety

    they are present and take there jobs seriously. they aren't a joke even though the students don't care for them, but they do a great job on our campus.
