Why do you think Creighton is special? Creighton is special because it gives its students many opportunities to be successful. Creighton has allowed me to be interested in many different fields, and has provided me with the opportunities to gain experience in those fields. The Creighton community is a special community that is welcome to any person, belief, or thought. It is a very inclusive place to be.

What do you like about Omaha and what are your favorite secret spots? Omaha is a great place to live. It has a good balance between small town and big city. Creighton is walking distance to the CHI Health Arena, a big event space for major concerts and events.
My favorite spots in Omaha include the Old Market, Blackstone, and Benson. One of the best parts about Omaha is the great food! My favorite places include Ika for ramen, Block 16 for burgers, and Coneflower for ice cream.
