As a pre-nursing major, my academic course load was heavier than the average student. With this major, it is impossible not to learn something. The 4 unit science classes are intensive but fascinating. In my general education classes, such as English, Psychology, and Mandarin, the classes were easy and I did not learn as much. However, I based my rating off the science courses, because that is essential to understanding for my major.
The teachers are available to help if you need it. All of my teachers have a passion for teaching and want their students to pass. This type of environment is positive and helped me immensely.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love this school. The campus is beautiful, the students here are friendly, and the overall feel of the campus is positive. It was incredibly easy to make friends here. I came to the school not knowing anyone, but when we got out for summer, I left campus sad to leave all my friends.
The reason I put 4/5 stars is because of a few things I would like to change about the campus. I wish that there were more opportunities to get involved with student activities. I went on almost every single outdoors activity they offered (great weekend or day trips for a great price!) but you have to really be creative to have fun on campus all the time. Also the cafeteria has a few good meals, but not a lot of healthy options or opportunities for variety if you are constantly eating there.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
If you are looking into nursing, this school is a fantastic opportunity. The nursing students are dedicated and hardworking, and will likely find jobs immediately after graduation. I would recommend knowing exactly what you want to do with your education here before you become a student. If you have a plan for your college career, then I firmly believe that CBU can help you succeed. Look into getting as many scholarships you can!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
As a freshman you have the option to live in a dorm or in a cottage. I lived in a cottage and loved it. There were 3 bathrooms in each cottage, as well as a full kitchen with a little living room area. My cottage-mates and I became like a family. Also, don't wait to talk to teachers and ask for help if you need it. Try to be as open as possible when making new friends.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Friendly
-Conservative
-Those interested in Nursing
-Those who like a small campus feel
-Christian (denomination doesn't matter)
-Those interested in international mission trip projects
