Makenna - 08/16/2024

It's not a bad school, there are some things that they need to work on. Sports are a big focus for this school which can make event scheduling difficult. The class load is fair depending on your major. Some classes, mainly the two hundred levels and up have less people in them. Whereas the first year classes are fuller. The campus has a starbuck which a lot of students love. Finally, we have a place called the den which is essentially fast food if the cafe is nasty.

Brandon - 11/10/2019

It is a great private college and they are very good with academics. Classes can be a little hard, but that is why we have tutors that are entirely free for use. That is why this campus is great because there is always something going on every day from sports to fraternities or sororities. This is one of the best schools in Nebraska because you make a bond with all of your professors because this university is about the size of a regular high school.

Byron - 06/29/2019

My overall opinion is that this is the best college I have been to by far. They treat you with respect and respect your intentions in life. There are so many opportunities to be the best you can be. When I stepped on campus I just knew it was the place for me. The environment is laid back and everyone I have met has been awesome. Overall 10/10

Jeremy - 03/07/2018
