Review of Andrews University

from Maplewood, MN

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Andrews University is located in Berrien Springs, MI, which is a very small town. There is no form of public transportation here, so it is helpful to have a car. Although, there are always exciting events going on around campus, such as: sports events, open gym/volleyball night, Splash for Cash, The Labor Day Blast, and other fun school events. I enjoy being here because you get to make great friendships that will last a lifetime.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Yes, Andrews University is quite expensive, but the education is worth it. There are many opportunities for students to start networking in their prospective careers with people who can truly help them. And when you come here it is like you are becoming a part of a big family. There are many teachers and advisers who will really take an interest in your life and try to help you to become all that you can be.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It is a good idea to get involved in something on campus; it can be a club, sports team, or an outreach ministry. It is good to get involved because it gives you something constructive to do when you're not studying, and it is a good way to make friends. I also recommend that new students apply for jobs on campus, especially jobs within their major. That way they are gaining some experience and networking at the same time. If you are shy, really push yourself to branch out and meet new people. If you are a really dedicated student, that's great, but make sure that you make some time for friends. No matter what your personality may be like, just be sure to keep some balance in your life. You don't want to cause yourself too much stress from taking on too much, but you don't want to fall behind in your studies either. So just try to schedule your time well, and make the best of your college years.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Andrews is great for those who are looking for a very diverse college. It is a good school for those who have a major within communication. And it is also a good school for those that want to strengthen their relationship with God.
