As far as people go, everybody here, including students and faculty, are extremely welcoming. Concordia puts on a lot of events, making it easy for residents and commuters to become involved. The atmosphere created by the people here and the amazing location as well make Concordia a wonderful place to go to school.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes at Concordia are doable but challenge the student just enough. Many of the classes require at least 3 to 5 hours of studying for every 1 hour spent in class. In my experience, the courses at Concordia are very achievable if you put in the time and effort required.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm life at Concordia is amazing. Despite living with a roommate, the way the dorms are set up still give each person a good amount of privacy. Each room comes with furniture for each student and a microwave and fridge for two to share. If you ever need anything, the Resident Assistant for your hall is always just a few doors away. There are plenty of places to go and study within the resident halls. Overall, my experience living on campus at Concordia has been more than excellent.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
For the most part, the meals in the cafeteria are above average meals. There are many things you can choose from: a main course from the Exhibition, something made fresh off the grill, and a variety of options at the salad bar. The food here is not five start restaurant material, but it is college kid on the go material.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Many of the different clubs, programs, and organizations here at Concordia put on a lot of events. The events range from movie nights to open gym to moonlight kayaking. Some of the more popular events that people get involved with here are intramural sports, hiking, and dances. Overall, lots of different kinds of events are put on here that will suit the liking of a wide range of people.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Right by the resident halls of Concordia is French Hill. Many like to take a hike up it for exercise, but some also just like to take their time walking up. Whether hiking or just taking a walk, the best part of French Hill is the view from the top. During the day, you can pretty much see all of Irvine, and at night, you can watch the sunset. Another cool night time feature of French Hill is that from the top, you can see the Disneyland fireworks!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I feel completely safe living on campus at Concordia University. First off, the whole campus is within a gated community. Second, anyone can always call the campus safety number if there is ever an issue. If injured, a campus officer will be come on a golf cart and take you where you need to go. If you need to walk to the other side of the campus but feel uncomfortable doing so because it is late at night, you can call campus safety and they will escort you to where you need to go. The campus safety at Concordia will do their best to accommodate you and make you feel comfortable being on campus.
