Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City

{PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE REVIEW} As a kid that lived here for 4 whole years, I can say a few things about this campus. First of all, the chapel, student center, library, and the offices there were very clean, very modern though, but I don't have a problem with it being modern. The front of the campus looked absolutely beautiful, the grass was fertilized well, and was cut properly. Classes were magnificent apparently. However, housing was an absolute nightmare. If you're considering moving here, you should change your plans. Once you get to housing, everything just goes downhill. The grass was dead looking, and was not cut on a regular basis. The apartments were rotting on the outside, wooden panels were cracking and had major water damage, and the paint on it was cracking. Some of the apartments were even VANDALIZED with spray-paint. Every time there was a storm. big or little, the power lines were so sensitive, that the power went out, and stayed out for hours. Also, the place was always a construction zone. Once they built one thing, they started building another, which was quite annoying. EVERYBODY was a snitch here. Make one mistake, and they call security. Matter o' fact, I was accused of stealing a bicycle, and SLASHING BIKE TIRES!! How ridiculous. Anyway, let's move on to Security and Campus Operations. The Campus Ops for the apartments were not very good. They kept forgetting to replace our air filter, and every time they checked our smoke detectors, they always messed up or something, because after they did, our smoke detectors kept beeping every now-and-then. Now, this is important>>Every time they had to fix something underground, whether it be electrical, or water related, etc, they would always end up hitting a water pipe, or gas pipe. This caused basically the whole campus to go without water or gas, until they fixed it. One time they hit the gas line, and it was so bad, that some organization brought a little house down to the end of Carey Court. The little house was a shower house, and it had many showers in it. That was a very nice thing for those people to do. Also, whenever there is something in the grass while they are mowing the grass, instead of moving it, they just ran over it. My friend's bike, and pogo-stick were ran over by Ops. They also ran over a piece of wood once, and it shot at my friend, causing her to bleed badly. But instead of asking if she was okay, they just stared at here, and started a conversation. Moving on to Security. Security was very rude to the children there. They abused their power so much, it felt like we were slaves to them. Every darn time we tried to do something fun outside, Security pulled up in their pathetic security car, and told us that we need to do something else, like play at the playground there (FYI, the playground looked like it was 70 yrs old, and it was very boring. It was also falling apart.) Us kids used to always ride our bikes in the road, but we did it very safely. We stopped at stop signs, yielded at yield signs, waited for cars to pass by, moved over to the curb if there was a car behind us, so they could pass, but a security guard, who I will not mention his name, considered us to be a hazard in the road, and that if we rode our bikes in the road, they would give our parents a $100 fine. I refused to listen to him, and I rode my bike in the road. Also, my friends and I used to always dumpster dive, until that same security guard yelled at us. That's when I actually stepped in to the conversation. I told him that if he keeps messing with us, we would get our parents, because there is nothing wrong with dumpster diving. I have found probably hundreds of dollars worth of electronics in those dumpsters, and they are in my house right now. Another thing, Security used to always put tickets on cars if they didn't register them, which was absolutely ridiculous. That's basically all I have to say about this campus. Most of the neighbors there were sorta nice, but the place was being run like a 3 year old was running it. I'm disappointed at this place.

Love this school's vision of training pastors for the Church!

A wonderful school with a true heart for the world to hear the gospel and live! Our two daughters have attended and it is a wonderful school that I highly recommend.

Spurgeon Library is worth the trip. Loved the time line and history.

Great institution. Great facilities. Great Faculty. Great all round.
