This is an exceptional institution dedicated to servant leadership and that adheres closely to its core Jesuit values. The campus is gorgeous and the professors and staff are thoughtful and considerate. RU consistently ranks as one of the best universities in the Midwest. I am an alum (2004) and I have two daughters that are as well (2021). I have one daughter that is an ER nurse and another that is a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

Rockhurst has a beautiful campus in Kansas City. It is a smaller college campus and it is located close to the Plaza. Although I haven't personally taken classes, I have been told it is a good experience. They are partnering with St Luke's for the nursing program. The security officers that I've encountered have been super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend checking out this college.

Great place to walk my dog. Security is very present. The staff that I've met are very decent. And some of the students I've met are very decent, kind, and just seemingly okay. The campus itself is laid out very nice. Also their architect is interesting as well as their landscaping. My understanding is that they offer a great business degree. Five Star

I went to RU and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I commend Rockhurst for keeping their alumni engaged and active and for how they protect and care about the neighborhood that surrounds the campus. The leadership of Father Curran is forward-thinking and inclusive. I am proud to be part of the RU community.

My wife attended Rockhurst for her Masters degree and loved every minute of her time there. We have been back for Alumni events and love seeing the campus and University's reputation continue to grow in stature.

God awful school. They try to force religion down your throat even though they try to advertise as an open school. Outdated dorms along with insane prices. The staff here are unhelpful and you’ll be lucky if they’ll answer the phone for you. Transferring out of here is a nightmare they try to charge you $650 for leaving the university. I don’t recommend anyone ever come here.
