REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe opportunity to learn is definitely obvious at Andrews University. The options are numerous. Classes are challenging and, for the most part, engaging.
Danika from Hamburg, PA
Andrews University provides a wide range of classes. They have fairly small classes, which means that the teacher can give each student the proper attention. There are a lot of hands on learning opportunities, and many opportunities to study abroad. Not only do they provide a quality education for you to grow in knowledge, but they also provide a great spiritual environment for you to grow closer to God.
Alana from Maplewood, MN
An amazing place to meet international students, have professors that truly love their profession and God, and a place where a student can really build up their relationship with God.

Sarah from Berrien Center, MI
Going into my sixth semester here at Andrews University, I have found that my knowledge has increased exponentially and not simply in the classroom setting. The classes are engaging, challenging, and interactive and the teachers are always willing to work time into their schedule to meet with you if you need help or just to talk. With all of the different programs, chapels, clubs, and worships, you are bound to be challenged by a new opinion and learn new facts about the world around you.
