Will enjoy being here
Incoming freshman and transfer students arrive at the campus a week early for orientation. Great experience for those who are away from home for the first time. Freshmen and transfer students also reside in separate male or female dorm buildings. The dorm room actually consists of two separate living areas with a bathroom in between for the four students to share. Way back when there was a kitchen area for the students to also share. Currently that has been altered and freshmen now have a meal plan provided by the University to sustain nourishment.
Upper class men have apartment type housing down the path from the dorms. Four students share an apartment complete with living room, two bedroom spacious bathroom, kitchen and dining area. All furniture and appliances are provided, but microwaves, TV's, bookcases and the like make great additions. The apartments all face inward toward an outdoor courtyard. Outside the apartments are little balconies where you can barbecue or just hang out. With both the dorm and apartments, there are resident counselors and resident advisers who help enforce campus rules, give guidance in course planning and are there for whatever the student needs.
Extracurricular activities abound on campus. Intramural sports, dramas, musicals, Greek games and so much more give students plenty of down time from studying. Whether you want to study at the library, eat at the cafe, hack into the grade banks via the computer lab, hang out at the student union or start a pick up game, there is always something to do.
Located between the Turtle Rock and Woodbridge areas in Irvine, you are right down the street from University of California Irvine. Within walking distance from the campus housing resides a shopping center complete with grocery store, video rental, gas station and a college hangout. Irvine is very bike friendly with bike lanes on most major streets. And yes the beach is within biking distance, if you like to bike.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Because CUI is a small private school expect to spend about $38,000 if you plan to board, and do extra activities. Off course the financial aid advisers will do anything in their power to help you out they. Look into their various scholarships for those interested in theater, music, forensics and sports.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If your a senior in high school and think your grades are to low to get accepted anywhere try CUI. When it comes to admissions they want to see what you have to offer to them, so make sure to do community service and be active in some sort of extracurricular. Stay in touch with them, they like students who are serious.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Concordia is a great school, especially for students from small towns who are seeking a warm and enlightening college experience. If you are looking into a small, private, and christian college than I strongly suggest this one.
