Lewis University Top Questions

The campus is beautiful, but if you want to go anywhere off campus you have to drive, nothing is within walking distance.

The worst thing about my school is that you can't walk to anything located off campus.

The lack of specific or specialized courses. The student body limits the school from providing really diverse and varied classes, especially in the fine arts.

There is not a lot to do on the weekends.

The thing I like least is how it is just jammed into Romeoville and there isn't a "college" feel to it. Outside of Lewis, it is just houses and a separate neighborhood with little to offer.

The worst thing about Lewis University has been the weekends every now and then. A large amount of students tend to go home on the weekends for various reasons so when a large amount of students go home the campus can seem like a ghost town. However, there's always a decent amount of students who don't leave campus for the weekends.

One of the most undesireable aspects of Lewis University is the occasional bad teacher. I've had a few classes with an "expert" teaching; someone with experience from the field. I think Lewis needs to take a closer look at some of these teachers and not just hire them for their expertise, but how well they can relay the message. Unfortunately, there were a few teachers in aviation that fell into this description. They knew their stuff, but couldn't teach it effectively.

The worst thing about my school is that some adviors are more informed then others so it's hard to get a specific answer at times.

The cost.....it is expensive!!

I took 2 prerequisites from the school that I felt were a waste of money on my part. I could have taken the same prerequisites at a community college for about 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the cost. I do not understand why it was mandatory to take these prerequisites at the school.

It can be conservative. By that I mean it is still quite religious and has some tight rules. It is also quite expensive . However, most people know each other and like going here.

I am a flight major and all of the techniques are what I would consider old and out dated. I would love to see new ways of teaching and revovations to t he flight building and more instructors and aircraft added.

not enough to do for commuters

Lewis is a small University made up of mostly commuter students. A lot of the students who live on campus live in the Chicago area and go home on the weekends which can make life very boring for the people who stay on campus. To live on campus you need a car to go anywhere, can't walk to a grocery store. The advisors are not always helpful. Some of the classes are not relevant. Summer classes are very expensive. Parking can be a real pain.

The worst thing is that there is no lake or pond on campus.
