Tuition, Cost & Aid

The great thing about Bradley University is that the tuition is well worth the enrollment. Due to the number of activities and organizations, everything feels well-worth it. A new recreation center, the Markin, was built in the past year, and it is every student's dream. It includes a swimming pool, rock-climbing wall, multiple basketball courts, indoor track, a massive amount of exercise machines, dance studio, and many more rooms.

Bradley University classes are small, so there is more one-on-one time with professors. The professors are all willing to help their students. In other words, you will get the best professors for a very decent tuition cost.

The food at Bradley is great! It is all-you-can-eat at the cafeterias and a lunch doesn't cost as much as four dollars. Awesome! Breakfast does not run higher than two. Even better! Bradley also offers a vegeterian bar in both cafeterias for those who do not eat meat.

The dorm buildings are great and several of the rooms are lofted, which allows for more floor space, which makes the room even spacious. The rooms are very cozy and it feels like home everytime you walk inside your room.

When you apply for enrollment, you're automatically applying for scholarships. Bradley offers multiple scholarships such as the Presidential, Provost-Garrett, and University Scholarship. The counselors, resident advisors, and even the President of Bradley University are all available with office hours if students want to contact them. Bradley University is truly a wonderful college choice!!

Since Bradley is a Private University it may seem on the expensive side but the money is well spent. You can definitely see the differences when you visit public institutions. There facilities are not as new, and well kept as that of Bradley. We constantly have renovations that keep our school looking great and also these renovations add to the convenience of the students. You can additionally see our money go toward the qualifications and hiring of our professors who all seem eager to teach and help out students if they are struggling with any aspects of school.

Bradley is a top school in the nation. It is known nationwide, I know this personally as I had a friend mention my school to her friend in California, and they had heard of Bradley's prestige. If you put in the work, you are guaranteed to get the education you are seeking. Outside of classes, the school offers so many extracurricular activities at no extra charge. You get your moneys worth.

The school is very expensive, however the education you receive is great and they offer free tutoring hours. The clubs and organizations are often free and very enjoyable. Also, keep in mind when looking at the price that this is a private school and when compared to others that are the same size and rank are much more expensive.

Obviously BU is an expensive school, but once you get past just the numbers you realize there are great ways to help pay for all of that while getting an incredible education. Bradley offers great scholarships and a majority of the students recieve one. It ended up being the same cost to go here as it would to go to the public university in my hometown. They offer several different payment plans to fit everyones needs. A little known fact is that the price per year is actually only 80% of what it costs to educate you, Alumni donations and other gifts pay the rest.

Bradley offers numerous benefits that other colleges don't. On top of Late Night BU, Bradley offers benefits for the school part of the Bradley experience. Each student can ave up to 2 hours of free tudoring per week if they need it as well as professors who are willing to help at almost any time. The professors offer office hours every week as well as schedule appointments, which is more than a large majority of other colleges.

Bradley is unique for having such helpful career and academic advisors as well as professors. If the students want to succeed, the resources are available to them.

Since Bradley is a private college, it's more expensive than a lot of other schools. However, Bradley is extremely affordable for a private college. My application was free since I applied early, which is a good reflection of Bradley. Your dollars are put to good usage. The meal plan allows you to only spend what you would like, and all the leftover money you get back, unlike a lot of bigger schools. Bradley offers a lot of academic and athletic scholarships that are very accessible. Also, since I am out of state, I was awarded with an additional scholarship. Bradley is definitely worth every penny.

I think the education is of a good quality. The teachers know what they are talking about, the rooms are rather nice, and there is a home-like atmosphere. Also, Bradley is doing a lot of construction so more opportunies are coming!
The only real complaint I have is that Bradley feels isolated. Compared to larger universities, there isn't much to do around the campus. However, I'm hoping the current construction will change that.
