A Great Learning Enviornment.
Christ Centered.
Allows you the best chance for success.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do your research and ask questions. College is an important decision that will affect the rest of your life. Concordia is a great institution to attend only if you are serious about learning and making a difference in the community. Visit campus and take a tour and then make your decision.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This is college. You need to come here prepared to learn. That being said it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE. The instructors are always willing to stay after and go the extra mile to help you succeed. There are tutors which are given for free and you can use the Academic Resource Center (ARC) which has all kinds of ways for you to gain assistance. If you stay focused on what makes first- your education, this place will be a breeze.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am a commuter student but I hear nothing but positive things from the individuals who stay in the dorms on campus. It is a beautiful place to live.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafe is pretty awesome. This year the cafeteria is under new management and they do a great job. The average meal is about 6.00 and it's all you can eat. They have different stations for you to eat at and the food is all freshly prepared, quite often right in front of you. It is a great atmosphere.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Some of the things that I do for fun is do shopping in the Ann Arbor area, attend athletic events and attend the many events that they have on campus to bring students together in a fun, safe, and healthy environment.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although most people would not think of chapel is fun, it really is a great environment. It is always good to be a part of the worship experience.
In addition I like to bowl, play games at local arcade and just serve the disadvantaged people within the community.
Tuition is high, but is worth the cost. The class sizes, the attention you get from the instructors, administrators and other benefits make it worth it. The relationships that you build at this college will last you a life time and can take you places.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
I would not say unusual but a cool place to just sit and be to yourself is right by the Huron River on the bench. It is a nice place to study and just be alone and gather your thoughts. It is also a cool place to watch people row by and hope they don't fall in.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
ANY! The unique thing about Concordia University is they allow you to Be the Voice. That is one of their mission statements in addition to the main mission of Christ First. It is great to attend a school where no matter what background you come from and what you have been through in life, you are not judged. I've been to 15 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 4 high schools. I've been in 3 different foster homes, 3 grouphomes and had other experiences that are just as bad in my personal and family life. Yet here I am double majoring at a great private college.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The Office of Student Life and other departments on the Campus of Concordia University have a lot of activities for students to get involved in if they are serious about making a difference and being involved. Our athletic department also has plenty of sports for interested individuals to be involved in such as Volleyball, Soccer, Cross Country, Baseball, Basketball, Football, and Golf to name a few.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There is a Office of Public Safety which is maintained 24 hours a day/7 days a week including holidays. The Office is on campus to help and not hinder students and encourages students to report any problems that they may encounter on the campus. They are friendly and not aggressive and very approachable.
