Lover everything about this place
Overall 4.6
Creighton is well-respected in the Midwest and recognized globally. Many people talk about Creighton athletics, but they fail to compare to the academics. Classes are more difficult than most universities, but it is a great school to prep anyone for a professional or graduate school.

great school
Overall 4.5
Creighton is a true gem in the heart of a big city with a small-town feel. I feel valued and respected on and off-campus. I have offers for after graduation jobs, and the school's network is inspiring and incredibly helpful. My social calendar is full, and I have made friends I will keep for a lifetime. My classes are tough but manageable. Love it!
Overall 4.5
Creighton is the best school ever. It's big enough where you don't know everyone and small enough where you don't feel lost in the crowd. It has amazing values and amazing people. 10/10 would recommend. The one downfall is that it has difficult classes, but this challenges students to work hard (this will get you a better career in the long run)

Overall 4.4
Its Pretty solid, the clubs are lacking but that does not hinder the amount of great social things to be apart of, food is abundant and good if you know where to go. Professors are very good (business school specifically)
Overall 4.3
I loved this school. Everyone is very friendly and there are so many opportunities. My four years here were my best and I'm very sad to be graduating.
Overall 4.3
If you ask any student at Creighton their favorite thing about the environment, I believe there's a 99% chance they'll talk about the community here. While Omaha is a BEAUTIFUL place, the environment on campus is EVERYTHING. Everyone here is so supportive: the other students, the professors, the staff. Creighton puts their students first, always.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.3
There are few things I regret in life, but choosing Creighton was my NUMBER 1 life regret. The registration for classes process sucks and is unfair. It is unnecessarily competitive to take the classes you need to take. Also. Magis core is stupid and does not work well if you are Pre-Health. Creighton is not worth the tuition you are paying!
Overall 1.8
Creighton does very little to acknowledge diversity. Administration will not take your side and make your life harder when you take an issue to them. Professors can be really nice, but that's only after I learned they hate Creighton too. There is a lot of community about hating Creighton and what they stand for.
