Good reviews
Overall 4.7
Attending this school was one of the best decisions I could have made. Not only did I form life-long friendships, but I was also surrounded by professors and a community that guided and supported as I navigated my education and spiritual life. LCU is like a home away from home. I will forever be grateful for my time spent there.

I loved this school, I am so happy that I decided to leave the Chicagoland area and attend school in the South. From the President down to the Costodian staff, I enjoyed my stay and my time on campus. Very Beautiful place as well.

Unless you are one of the chosen you can forget being accepted. They hire their own graduates (the chosen) and they hold the power. The interconnectedness of professional relationships crosses personal boundaries offering students fairness when experiencing challenges.

LCU is not really a school for anyone looking to get a theologically sound education. Most of the professors bordered on heresy a lot of the time and it is a shame. The school is unwilling to compromise on a lot of rules (as in chapel, I know it's a Christian university but really? TWO absences and then anything after that a make up ESSAY?!)
