Kierra - 05/27/2024

It is such an amazing and supportive school.

Melony - 06/08/2020

Brescia is a good school if small class sizes and a small campus are for you. However, it is a dry campus, which means no drinking/partying on campus. Many people still drink and party though. All the professors I have experienced have had an exceptional experience in their topic areas are involved in some way in the community. They are willing to help any student whenever the student needs it. Brescia is a private catholic school therefore, a strong religious presence is on campus but no one will ever pressure you to convert or take part in anything. Brescia is an overall great university.

Taylor - 05/06/2020

Overall a very small school. The atmosphere of the school is more of a high school rather than a college. It is a dry, drug-free, and smoke-free campus. There is no football team and even though most of the students are on a sports team there was no real support for the teams and rarely was there ever a big student turnout to the games. There was never really a true student section either. The band is terribly small so no real music or chants to get anyone involved either. Since the school is so small there is not really a choice of professors in most cases. The meal plan is required if you live on campus and you can only use it on campus there is not flex dollars or anything where you can dine off-campus. All sports facilities/fields are off-campus.

Katy - 08/20/2019

They lure you in with the thought of enough scholarships to cover it but then you have to take out several loans and it’s barely worth it. I had taken out $4,000 in loans and I have nothing to show for it. I had some great friends and had some awesome experiences but not $4,000 worth.
