Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Creighton has two student centers: the Skutt Student Center on one end of campus and the Harper Center on the other. The Harper Center is the newest addition to Creighton, and most would agree that despite the long walk from the main campus area, it is a great addition to the University. Essentially, what Creighton has to offer in terms of facilities—the libraries, dining halls, and classrooms—is adequate, and there is much more to come. A lot was recently finished or still being built, and there have been several major changes on the University grounds in recent years. In 2003, a new science building was built. In 2004, the Mall (the brick pathway down the center of campus) was remodeled. In 2005, there were so many dirt piles on campus that is started to look like a quarry as bulldozers made way to build two parking garages, Opus Square residence hall, and the Living Learning Center. The Skutt Student Center underwent renovation, and the new Harper Center opened in the fall of 2009. The goal was to follow the design of the brick-and-iron Davis Square residence hall when creating Opus Square, and Morrison Soccer Stadium looks breathtaking as campus now expands toward the Missouri River. Administrators are hoping that the design is optimally functional and aesthetically pleasing. It is not uncommon to see construction going on at various locations throughout the University, but the main campus area is relatively construction-free.

While it may cause some minor inconveniences, the current construction means that future Creighton students should have better facilities and more room to park when they arrive here. Essentially, the past has been ho-hum for students, and the present is frustrating in some ways because of all the construction, but the future should be so wonderful that it’s hard to hate Creighton for the effort.

Underutilized. More students should hang out in Skutt. Best place on campus to do homework

Love My Campus!

Nice mixture of old and new, and all of the facilities are in excellent condition. The only thing a bit worn are the inside of the dorms, but that seems to be the same at every college! The library is excellent, and we have several great places to get food here at Creighton.

The athletic center is a bit dated, but is an awesome place to visit and work out. I really like that the college isn't so huge, as it is great to get to know so many people here, and be able to hang out with different crowds when I feel like it.

Creighton University

The facilities at Creighton are pretty awesome. The fitness center has up-to-date equipment, several courts to be used for various activities, and MANY intramural opportunities. There is a second fitness center, as well, that is very nice. The student center is a fun place to hang out, and I would say that most students go there on a daily basis to eat, hang out, and study. Campus is absolutely beautiful!

Favorite Things To Do

Between classes, you can break a sweat in the gym, cool off in the pool, watch a play, grab a bite to eat, or go to church. Or for fun, take a lawn chair out and watch construction workers—there are always some at work somewhere on campus.

Two big concerts are held each year: Fallapalooza and Spring Fling. Recent bands include the Black Eyed Peas, Cake, and Ben Folds. CSU Program Board hosts a lot of events, including the concerts. It also hosts a weekly series of music, free food, and activities on the Mall. Barbeques before soccer games are popular among several student organizations.
