Judson has two campuses- one in Elgin and one in Rockford. The campus in Rockford is terrible!! Do not attend! Not worth the thousands of dollars that it costs to attend this private school!!

I wish the credits transferred because if they did I would have left my sophomore year. This school started out alright but then I realized how judgement a lot of the students and even the faculty are. This school really made me lost my faith as I felt like I wasn't "christian" enough and therefore not a good person. Messed up morals.

Do not attend this school. I would gladly return all my credits for the money I wasted at this school. I would transfer to another school but most of Judson's "required" would transfer as electives.

I transfered here with an associates degree wanting to complete a biology degree. Im going to have to take 16-18 credits a semester to graduate on time. They make you take a lot of classes that you dont need.If you like to party stay far away. This campus if full of people who like to tell you what to do.
