Favourite Creighton Experience: I have had many great experiences at Creighton since I came. I joined the Creighton Ultimate Frisbee club very early on and that helped me get a lot of new friends very fast. I have enjoyed my classes at Creighton and had a lot of fun with school here. I also joined the Greek community this semester and became a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. That has been a great experience!

I chose Creighton University because I wanted a smaller university. I don't really like the big schools too much. Oslo is not a very big city and my old high school only had about 500 students so I am not used to big schools. I also loved the beautiful campus and I felt very welcome here. People in the Midwest are very friendly, much more friendly than people from the east coast.

What surprised me most about Creighton: I was very surprised how many people actually came to the soccer games. I love going to the soccer games here. The Creighton team is pretty good and it's always fun to watch them. I was also surprised how easy it is to get friends here.
