<p>Some schools have University in the name and some have college. I know there are people who believe that a school automatically is a bad school if it is a college and not a university but I don’t think that is true at all considering there are many “colleges” that have great academics.</p>
<p>Is there any truth in this?</p>
<p>I was recently considering Elmhurst College and the whole discussion is kinda discouraging me.</p>
<p>Don’t let the names influence you too much. There are excellent and not-so-excellent colleges and universities. Also, some colleges are called universities (Denison, Colgate, etc.) and some universities are called colleges (Dartmouth College, College of William and Mary, Boston College).</p>
<p>I used to live in Elmhurst. Beautiful suburb with easy access to Chicago. Elmhurst College delivers a respectable education. I have a friend whose son goes there and he likes it a lot.</p>
<p>Wow, I am from Elmhurst. Graduated from York High School a year ago. What are the odds huh? I am looking into Elmhurst because I love the location and I know the people. I also love Chicago and am very familiar with the area. </p>
<p>Whenever I hear the whole “College” means bad arguement I automatically think Boston College, a ridiculously respected school. Thanks for the comment.</p>
<p>Small world. I went to Boston College for my first degree.</p>
<p>My family moved out of Elmhurst before I got to high school (the York Dukes in green and white…I always liked that). I think Elmhurst College has some special financial aid for students from Elmhurst, so if you need financial help check, it out.</p>
