Carson-Newman University

I am learning so much at Carson-Newman College. The professors are wonderful and really strive for excellence within their classrooms. They really care about their students and how well they perform in the classroom. They take the time to get to know their students on a more personal level and strive to help them in any way possible. They make themselves available when students have questions or don't understand something. I push myself to do well in my classes, but the professors also want that for their students. The small class size really helps with this because students can get that one on one time with the professors and it also helps keep students accountable for coming to class. They try to present the material in different and interesting ways so that the students learn the material. Carson-Newman is a liberal arts college, we have to take many different general education classes along with the classes for our major. And for the most part I have walked away from every class really learning a lot!!!

The professors are ranked some of the best in the country. We are not a research-based school, which means we don't have the highest payrolled teachers but it also means that the teachers are here FOR THE STUDENTS! Two of my profs took pay cuts to come here and almost every one of my teachers has invited us, either as individuals, small groups, or our whole class to dinner out, or at their houses. I have even received 3 different invites from my college's president to have cookies and milk with him and his wife. My teacher's really do know their stuff as 98% of them have the highest degree that they can have in their field. But they aren't so brilliant that they set themselves apart from their students. They constantly change their methods and style of teaching to accommodate the varying students' needs. They have long office hours and even give you their personal and home phone numbers if you have questions or concerns on the weekends.

Carson-Newman's small class size give me the opportunity to have one on one conversations and help from my professors. If you don't get the concept the first time around, the professors don't mind if you ask questions during a lecture. In class we learn from the professors' real world experiences and examples.

I am learning SO much here at Carson-Newman. The professors are my favorite part, and they make the classes so interesting and worthwhile. The professors are there for you in academics but also work with you when you are going through life experiences, and offer up constructive and encouraging advice and support. Not only do I love the professors and think they are perfect for a small christian environment, Students actually seem to see real life lessons through a lot of classes. Some of my favorite classes have been: Human Services, Liberal Arts (the infamous CN required LA), New Testament, and Social Problems. I learned so much about myself and about the world through these classes and professors.

Carson-Newman is an outstanding college where anyone can fulfill their dreams at. The staff is willing to give 110% to make sure each student reaches their potential and exceed his/her expectations. The future is becoming much brighter with Carson-Newman sending students into to the world to make a difference.

I am hoping to become a nurse. I've been impressed with the faculty and their attention to the students and desire to make them successful. That has been a major plus in making my decision. I believe that will make me a better student and learner.

Almost everyone you pass on campus is remarkably friendly and cheerful. The professors do an excellent job by caring for the well-being of the students and showing the passion they have for their field. While located in a small town, the campus is beautiful, especially in the fall, and very safe.

Carson-Newman is home. There is no other word for it. Everyone here is family.

Carson-Newman is a fun, close knit, Christ centered school. It allows students to grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. Carson Newman is simply an amazing school.

I have found Carson Newman to have been a good learning institution that realizes you can make an impact outside of the classroom. Being one of the top community-service oriented schools in the nation reveals that CN believes in impacting the community it is located in for good. Carson Newman has given me a great opportunity to move into adulthood well educated and well rounded.
