Rockhurst is seriously my favorite place ever! I can't talk about my school without crying tears of pure joy because I go here! The campus is beautiful, the people are beautiful, just life here is beautiful. Everyone needs to come to Rockhurst because it's such a cute little family and everyone knows everyone, which is wonderful

Rockhurst is pretty much amazing. It's in a really bad part of town, but we're soo close to the plaza, so we can out any time and it's really fun to be so close. Something crazy like 75% of graduates get a job within 6 months. It's a great education, there are great people. And I absolutely LOOOVVVEEE it!

There is no other school more notorious for covering up rape on campus. Barely surviving with less than 3,000 students and less than 55 acres of a campus, the school is keeping its head above the water by jacking up their costs all around, leaving students helpless and at the mercy of those in power. It is not a University, it is a high school.

Worst educational experience ever. Small town, small minds and small opportunities. Want an education? Look elsewhere.

Saint lukes College of Health Science at Rockhurst is a disorganized hole. Turn around dont sign up. Work load is unreachable. communication is NONE. I am desperately tryin get transferred out back to my school.
Overall 1.7
Wifi is awful. Food is pathetic. Everyone on campus is super judgemental and clique-ish. We're here to get degrees, not relive highschool. No diversity. Greek life is a joke - almost every single member I've met has been plain awful. For how much tuition is, the printing services, wifi services, and food is awful.

Rockhurst is a big high school with private school kids galore and they all love the STL Cardinals. Consider you other options if you are not Catholic because not many programs for other religions. Sports suck excpt. soccer. Parking is a nightmare and a lot of my teachers were not good. It is a large high school and micro-managed. Awful Greek life

I am in the Occupational Therapy graduate program at Rockhurst and the quality of education in very poor. The director, instructors, facilities of this program do not meet the needs of the Occupational Therapy students. I am sad that I chose this program and school when I had opportunities to go elsewhere.
