Cairn University is a wonderful school that really does stay true to it's mission statement. It seeks to educate students to serve Christ in the church, society, and the world as biblically minded, well-educated, and professionally competent men and women of character. The school provides great teaching from a biblical standpoint and prepares you to take that knowledge and interact with the secular world.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure to contact your admissions counselor and do not be ashamed to ask many questions! Come and visit and ask students about their favorite part of campus life!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The school is definitely challenging with rigorous academics. They desire to prepare students to be well-educated and professional, and they stay true to that in the teaching at Cairn.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is one of my favorite aspects of Cairn. Each of the 3 dorms each has a different environment and caters to different student personalities. There are many events and activities happening throughout the school year in all of the dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is not the best, but there are good days! The best part is the sandwich line and the grill where you can have stir fry or sauteed pasta.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are lounges and common areas to hang out with friends and watch movies. The train station, which is in walking distance, is an easy way to get into Philadelphia and experience life there. There are many activities and stores around the area for students to take part in and visit.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Each semester on finals week there is a night called 10th Hour Breakfast which is, essentially, breakfast at 10 pm on one night of finals week. The cafeteria is packed because basically all students attend this night.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students wanting to go into ministry or who are seeking to have a professional life as a pastor, teacher, businessman or woman, social worker, or more are great for this university. Cairn prepares students to enter into these careers and to be prepared to serve God through their careers as well, even if they are not strictly ministry majors.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus safety is great. They are constantly patrolling and they immediately respond to incidents.
