Creighton University Stats, Info and Facts

I love Creighton! It is a completely student centered Instituion.

Omaha is a great place to live. It is one of the safest bigger cities in the United States. There is plenty to do there. They have clubs, malls, tons of restaurants. The Henry Doorly Zoo is in Omaha. It is one of the best zoos in America. Omaha is also the home of the College World Series for baseball. They just built the TD Ameritrade Park this past year. Creighton itself has plenty of things going on on campus. If you get involved in one of the many extracurricular activities that Creighton has to offer, you will never be bored. Creighton is a smaller campus, with fewer students, so you should be able to get to know people easily.

Though I am enjoying the summer break from school, I cannot wait to return to Creighton. This is how I know I love it. Everyday provides a new experience and new opportunities. The campus is FULL of extracurricular activities and ways to get involved. It is so easy to meet new people everywhere you go: the dining halls, classes, school events, the dorms, sporting events, etc, but there are not so many people that it becomes crowded. The size of the school is perfect because it is not too small but also does not have too many students. You can feel comfortable while also seeing new faces everyday. Another reason I love being here is the amount of facilities to study and hang out in. You can find places to be comfortable no matter what your plans are; you don't have to just hang out in your dorm room.

The people I've met from the Creighton community have really shown that they care and that even though Nebraska may seem like its in the middle of nowhere, Omaha is a great city filled with things to do for every kind of person.

Ethnic and personality diversity is a huge issue on campus. The campus can become very cookie-cutter and can seem very homogeneous, but the curriculum works to open one's mind. This eventually creates a situation where the individual is strong enough to break away from the mainstream culture. In addition, the gender inequality between males and females impacts interaction dramatically. CU has more girls than boys, so the ladies can be a bit territorial.
