    Did learn a lot

    I didn't think that they really cared to much about anything that we did they will pass you just to show up for class
    Did enjoy being here

    Other than the three clubs in front of the school being on campus was not something I enjoyed at all
    Bang for the buck

    To much money for nothing

    Yes, Benedict College you do learn alot in your major. The teachers will give you research projects and writing papers to become more familiar with you studies. The library is alway open from early mornings to late nights, so you can always study.
    Am enjoying being here

    Yes, i am the college host lots of events for new students. You will never feel along or homesick. The greek organizations do steps on the yard.
    Bang for the buck

    It cost alot to go here, but the school gives out plenty of money to help finance your ability to attend.
    Tips for prospective students

    Please take the time out to learn about the school. Yes it is very different from high school, that is the mature thing about it. you are by yourself now, so be adult now.

    Am learning a lot

    Not really, it's kind of like being in high school all over again, but then again that's every college for the first two years.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's OK if you plan on hanging outside all day. That's if you can't find anything on campus that you're interested in. Unless you plan on joining the choir, band, or play football, there's really not much to do in your spare time.
    Bang for the buck

    I feel like I'm wasting my money. Not because the college isn't all that great. Don't get me wrong it's a good school but you spend your money on miscellaneous things. I can't even find a tutor in my major. With as much money as I'm spending here I should be able to have help in my own major.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you have the grades and/or SAT scores I suggest you find somewhere else to go. Unless you are planing on majoring in business or music.
    Great for these types of students

    Benedict will give you a second chance to go to college even if you don't have the grades. They won't deny you a chance to get a degree just as long as you have the money to pay them.

    It's a new environment in a way.
    Bang for the buck

    It IS alot of money. ($24,000/year)
    Tips for prospective students

    It is a good school but your professors will not baby you along, you have to do the work yourself and that's what i like about it.

    Benedict College is a wonderful institution and it's really up to you how you view it and what you hope to accomplish.
    Am enjoying being here

    Being here has taught how to be more independent when it comes to life and it's taught me to make wiser decisions
    Bang for the buck

    It all depends on the classes you take.
    Tips for prospective students

    There will be alot of things said about this school, but it's up to you to check it out for yourself. I mean what places doesn't have problems or issues. If your coming here for and education I say it's a great place to be.

    Benedict is what you make it, just as in life. I am a FInance major and i learn plenty information that will be transferable into my career. The teachers are highly qualifed, most have worked for Fortune 500 companies so they know the skills we need and that employeers expect us to know.
    Am enjoying being here

    Benedict has many different things you can do. We have a gym, tennis and basketball court, park, you can hang out in front of the library, a card and game room, and TV room. YOur experince is what you make it. We are located downtown so you can walk to 5 points where you can interact with students from other colleges and we have plenty clubs close by.
    Bang for the buck

    Expensive but will be the best money you ever spent if you stay focused.
    Tips for prospective students

    Benedict College gives you the opportunity to improve your self. Whats most important is that you remember why you came to college in the first place and thats to get a education. All you have to do is stay focused and go to class.

    Am learning a lot

    They do not teach you anything, nor do they want you to ask them questions (because they will get real MAD with you) and they expect for you to know the information right off the back.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do not like being here. They swear up and down that they are here to help you and that you can come to them whenever you need them. That's load of CRAP!!! They will give you the run-a-rounds for every little SIMPLE thing there is. Plus you NEVER get the HELP that you really want (unless you DEMAND it) because they are NEVER here to assist you. They need more genuine people (staff) who actually care about the students (especially the freshmen)
    Bang for the buck

    Even though this school is a private school, it is still too high. Plus you don't get the real education that you pay for. Also they will give you a full ride scholarship but on top of that, they try to stick you with loans saying that you have to pay them. ** DON'T FALL FOR THAT!!! Make sure you look at the paper and decline those loans (especially if you have a full ride and your grades are on point) because they will try to TRAP you.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you do want to go to Benedict College, be confident, demanding (but not too harsh), aggravating (especially with teachers), and make sure that you copy EVERYTHING (because they will swear up and down that you did not turn anything in to them)

    Did learn a lot

    I can say that I learned something ,but most of the stuff i already knew. It depends on the teacher and how long the classes are.
    Did enjoy being here

    It was kind of far from where I lived at which was in St. Louis, MO. I mean the people there are not really the type of people I hang out with so maybe thats why I stayed close to people I met.
    Bang for the buck

    No they could of fixed up so much stuff that needed fixing. Also that food was ok but could of been much better. I liked the fact there was no meal plan.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that you get a scholarship do not spend your own money
    Great for these types of students

    Who like small class sizes and like one on one with their teachers.

    I believe Benedict in the education aspect is a good school. They give great help and hope for those in need of a second chance. Benedict as gives just enough attention to students and there needs.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tip for any prospective students come with the right mindset and ready to work. Be sure not to let parties and relationships get in the way of your education.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm life is not all that great it has it's flaws. The best thing to do is make sure you make it feel comfortable with your belongings and push through the rest.
    Food and Dining

    The food is defiantly not all it should be either. There aren't enough choices for everyone's taste buds. I don't eat pork but they will serve it for dinner and that will be my only choice.
    What to do for fun

    For fun the campus is great as far as parties. There are also always activities going on to keep you busy when needed. There aren't to many boring moments.
    Great for these types of students

    All types of students
    Clubs and Activities

    There are many clubs and activities you are able to be apart of. There is a spot for everyone no one will feel left out or not needed.
    Greek Life

    The Greek life is I believe very well. They all get together as families you will defiantly feel wanted.
    Campus Safety

    Campus Safety could be a little tighter. They seem to only take care of what there told they don't jut seek the unsafe on there own. Meaning they are quick to break a fight but slow on keeping random people on campus.

    Benedict is the best thing that has happen to me thus far in my journey to college.
    Benedict has an open enrollment policy which helps students come to college to get their second chance or just to better themselves as adults.
    Benedict has many scholarships that you can apply for to help pay off school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Live by my three D's
    Dedicated
    Dependable
    Determined.
    I promise you if you live off those you can make it through college.
    Academic Rigor

    I love the majors they offer here at Benedict because its a variety and you can choose form a big list.
    You can make relationships with teachers in the classrooms because they are not too big.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is cool, the freshmen dorms are on campus and you have Honor dorms for those with a 3.2 or higher and we have athletic dorms.
    Also we have upperclassmen dorms which are off campus apartments style and we have shuttles that bring you back and forth to your classes and rooms.
    Food and Dining

    food is nice, its buffet style so that's all you can eat to make sure you get full so you won't have to spend so much money.
    What to do for fun

    Campus is more live when its hot and its just cool to be around your selective circles and walk around to see all the people together as one.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Benedict is based off religious terms and we have a big Chapel in the middle of campus. Also we prayer at every function before and after.
    Also church service is like community service and some people are required but that only involves for certain majors because Benedict does not force anything on the students.
    Greek Life

    Greek life is real cool. the probates, the parties, community service projects our Greek life gets involved a lot.
    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is here 24/7 and insures your safety around the wall on Benedict and even the outside wall of Columbia.

    If I was to rate Benedict College I would say its a 7 out of 10. It's a good school but because it's a private school they can make there own rules which makes it difficult to do the things that you want to do. It also cost a lot more than other public universities or colleges.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that you hang around the right people.
    What to do for fun

    The only thing to do for fun is joining clubs and participating in the on campus activities.
