We have some friends whose kids go there. they really seem to like it. they play football. you can do some checking on the national rankings etc at the us news and world reports. If i recall from last year, they did receive some good rankings. their sports teams for football and basketball are usually ranked well at the division III level.

My husband got his undergrad degree there. He thought it was a fantastic school. It's small which means you get a lot of personal attention from professors, and it's pretty easy to meet people and make friends. What are you planning to study?

Elmhurst College is great. It is a beautiful campus with some great people. Not to boast or anything, but I got a full ride up there. The only reason I did not go was because it was too close to home for me. Eh, different strokes for different folks, as they say. Best of luck! Elmhurst College really is great though and I have a lot of smart friends who went there.

It is terrific school and you get so much personal attention. There is a lot to do in the community and you are only a train-ride to downtown Chicago. A friend of mine got his finance degree there and is now working for a major financial firm in Manhattan. He was well-prepared by Elmhurst and then attended Kellogg for his Master's degree. Good Luck on your decision.

I went to EC and loved it. Beautiful campus, close to their little downtown which is nice. I thought the professors were great and really gave personal help when needed.

Good Luck to you!
