You will find events hosted by Greek houses every weekend in the fall and spring on Schwitzer lawn. Upon entering Butler, you will be told that Greek life is only about a third of the student population, but that number is on the rise and Greek life has a strong presence on campus. Personally I am enjoying my college experience. Although Butler wasn't the best fit for me and I have decided to transfer, I'll still cheer on the dawgs when March Madness rolls around. But the school itself is just not what I wanted from my college experience. I don't regret spending my freshman year at Butler because I've made some amazing friends here. In the end, I decided I'm just more of a big school kinda guy. If this is what you want, Butler is probably a great place for you. Someone shares you major? Best (try to) get to know them, because chances are, you'll have many classes with them. That means eating at the same dining hall every day, seeing the same faces in the hallways, and always having a mutual friend with someone you just met. Make sure you know that you want a small school before deciding to come here. With all of that being said, I managed to make some great friends at Butler that I'll miss dearly in my next chapter.
I cannot imagine going to school here if you are not an athlete and do not intend to participate in greek life. However, I have many friends who are neither greek nor athletes, and many of them had a difficult time expanding their social circles. I was fortunate enough to be on a varsity athletic team, so I managed to find a large, close-knit group of friends without going greek. Despite the fact that Butler had only 4.5 fraternities (RIP Lambda) and 7 sororities last year, it feels like over 50% of the school is greek. Although I imagine those people are more numerous at other schools. Of course, this is just a generalization, there are people here that don't fit that mold. I understand that everyone finds their group within a school, but at Butler it felt like once people had that set group, they had no interest in meeting anyone else. However, most Butler students will not go out of their way to meet new people after a certain point in the school year, so the school gets to be quite cliquey.
Most of the student body is friendly if approached. It is also quite easy to double major here. The FBE and RBE programs in the Lacy School of Business are incredible and quite unlike anything offered at any other school. My average class numbered about 25 kids and all of my professors knew my name. The professors and administration made me feel like they genuinely cared about my academic and personal success. Butler will keep you on track to graduate, they will not let you get too far off course. My advisor (S/O Professor Gjerde) was very knowledgable and helpful when it came to selecting classes.

However, I registered at Butler with 17 credit hours already from AP credits, plus honors and athletics priorities, so I generally had first pick when it came to selecting my classes. I made it a priority to get to know my professors through their office hours and was able to do this at Butler. All of the professors I had were both brilliant and approachable. The faculty are very down to earth and friendly people.
If you stick with me through this review, you will learn why.īutler is an excellent school for some people. I write this review as a student who is happy with his first-year experience, yet has still decided to transfer schools.
