Concordia is a great community to be a part of. You are able to get to know your professor and he/she to get to know you to help you with the course you are taking because of the smaller classrooms, the campus is wonderful by Lake Michigan, and you can definitely grow in your faith and relationships with others.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are looking for smaller classrooms and personable professors, then Concordia is right for you. I have been here for 3 years already and have loved every minute of it. I came to Concordia for the loving environment that was portrayed, the beautiful campus (we are right by Lake Michigan so you can see the view of the lake and we have our own bluff with a beach where students are able to have bonfires on occasion), the small classrooms with the personable professors, and because it was a Lutheran school. If you are looking for these things then Concordia is right for you. There are many opportunities to get involved and my advice to you is to get involved as much as you can, because that is where you begin to build relationships with the people you come across with at your time at Concordia.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Concordia is set on helping you with your academic goals. If you are struggling with a class or two, you can get a free tutor provided by the school. If you need help starting a paper, revising or editing it, or even need help with the formatting or style, the writing center is available for free to help you with that. Also, if you have a learning disability of some sort Concordia and its professors will work with you to achieve your goals academically.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Even if you live close to campus, I suggest that you stay on campus for at least a year. I am going to be a senior this coming 2012-2013 school year and I have lived on campus for 3 years. You meet so many great people living on campus and I can say that I have found friends that I will keep in touch with after we all graduate. Living on campus is also convenient, because the dorms are connected to the whole campus either by hall ways or underground tunnels so you don't have to go outside if you don't want to. Its a little easier to get to classes and easier to get to on campus activities that go on during the school year.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Concordia has great food and food choices. We have our cafeteria which is a buffet style with a salad bar and an ice cream bar (similar to cold stone creamery). We are currently building a student union for the 2012-2013 academic school year where we will have more choices of food similar to a food court style.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many different things to do on campus and even off campus if you want to drive. We live about a half hour away from Milwaukee where you can do all sorts of different things. For on campus, we have CAB (campus activity board) that does a lot of different activities on campus and even off. They plan different events that include movie nights, dances, brewer game outings, etc. We also have different groups you can get involved with like SGA (student government association), Sports, and we have different groups connected to our Campus Ministry team that helps you grow in your faith and lets you give back to your community.
