I would recommend this University to everyone. They are really focused on academics and the new D1 status. The campus is beautiful and located only 5 minutes from the old town of St. Charles and there is just so much to do here. Very awesome school. Go Lions!

Lindenwood has more than qualified professors teaching. They are well-rounded, and I am happy that I chose LU to get my degree.

Close to home (at least for me), small classes, opportunities for research and internships, not too expensive, advisers actually teach classes, allows over 18 credit hours to be taken, switching majors and advisers is easy, pretty campus, payment plans are relatively easy, good financial aid, could continue...

If you come with an open mindset it will truly be a great experience

I love the school. Their professors are very skilled and knowledge yet approachable. There are many different majors available and resources for when you may need assistance. I have never worried about my safety on campus too. Their security is always available and I see them everyday I walk to class. Overall love everything about the school.

Great campus with lots of diversity amongst their students!

Lindenwood University is in a great location, not a ton of traffic that you get with the schools located in St. Louis, and you can always find parking. There are tons of activities always going on and the campus is beautiful. They just built a brand new library that now has a Starbucks as well.

Don't let the "dry campus" scare you away; it really means just don't walk around with beer bottles and be an annoyance to others. Its a great/beautiful campus. If you attempt to socialize, no doubt you'll make friends, and main street is always an option on weekends. The food has gotten a lot better. security is nice, and always available.

Absolutely not-advisors suck and constantly mess you up. I have had to resend forms multiple times on multiple occasions to multiple people because things have been lost or neglected. Constantly raising prices for what? A football team that stinks? My building has mold growing with ladybugs everywhere. PLEASE GO ANYWHERE ELSE SAVE YOURSELF!

Lindenwood is a pretty beautiful campus but the food, social life, greek life, recreation centers, and professors make it a very bad experience. Decided to transfer after one semester. If you want a traditional college experience then don't go here. If you want to feel like your in high school then come here.

Lindenwood only cares about their image to the outside. Lindenwood also only cares about their athletes. So, if you're not an athlete, don't bother coming here. Everyone here is very consumed with themselves and there is really no social life besides with the members of your team. Professors are also a joke.
Overall 1.7
The academics are the best aspect of this university. Most of the professors are more than qualified and provide a good experience, but NOT ALL. Everything else is a complete failure. The food is not worth paying for, there is no social life unless you're in a fraternity or sorority, and there is no assistance with getting jobs once you graduate.
Overall 1.7
I would not recommend this college at all especially to anyone who is majoring in BIO. There's only one class you can take with one teacher at one time. The advisors complain about the other teachers and warn people not to take them. I transferred from a junior college and had a good experience, but I am transferring to umsl next year.

If you are going to go to this school, stay out of the Theatre. Favoritism is heavy. the chair and stage manager professor act like they are best friends and the chair lets the stage manager professor screw over students. you have been warned

Pros: Lindenwood is a beautiful school and has potential. The classes are small and the instructors care about their student's success. Cons: The social life and school spirit are almost non-existent. Students can become disconnected from each other very easily. The food takes some getting use to and the internet connection is laughable.
