Liliana from Glendale Heights, IL
Join clubs and participate in campus activities. You'll really see the benefits there are to being a part of a smaller school.
Paige from Chicago, IL
When applying and writing your essay always write from the heart that's what gets you noticed.
ASHLEY from Northlake, IL
If you already know what major you want to get into, I would really look into the program that the college has for you. Don't be afraid to ask questions and wonder how their program will benefit you. Or if you are undecided, there is more than enough help from faculty and many facilities on campus to help you through your decision. Elmhurst College is big on having a liberal-arts education, so you will get to experience every subject.
