I am a Theology major in the Director of Christian Education (DCE) program here at Concordia and very much like the majority of the class I have taken thus far. I especially like the classes geared towards my two main areas of emphasis and the professors at Concordia are great. The homework load may be much at times but all of the coarse work is worth it in the long run.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Compared to my previous year at the University of Colorado, transferring to Concordia University was one of the best decision I could have made. The students, staff, and professors along with the citizens of Seward are wonderful and caring individuals. The classes are great, the social aspect is amazing, there is no readon I would not recommend someone to come and live here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
To be honest, I pay less to go to Concordia than I did at a state school because of the financial support through Concordia and the LCMS as a whole. The dorm rooms here are much better than the living conditions I had before. The food is better than that of CU but it still doesn't beat home cooking. As I have already said, the classes are entirely worth it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you speak frequently with Michelle Pfeifer or whoever your counselor or advisor is so that you make sure to get as much financial support possible and so you get the classes you want to take. If you want to get into teaching or a ministry career, this is definately the place for you; but there are many other majors offered so please check them out.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Because Concordia is Lutheran based, if you want to be surrounded by a community that shares your faith in Christ this is the place for you. State colleges won't give you the same kind of support to enhance your spiritual life the same way Concordia will. We have chapel every weekday morning, Bible studies in abundance, and St. John's Lutheran Church is right across the street from campus. So, to all Lutherans and any other denomination of Christianity, you should really check out Concordia University as the place you want to spend your college career.
