Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

There are a variety of classes here--I feel like a kid in a candy store! Luckily, you have a personal advisor in the department of your major who is dedicated to making sure you take the right classes at the right time. That way, you can take that archery class and study into Daniel and Revelation along with your required courses. Another note: every student graduates with a minor in Biblical Studies.
Casey from Post Falls, ID
The professors here are extremely accessible. They are willing to help their students make the grade! Each class period is kept lively and interesting, so I learn something new every day.
Gina from Polson, MT
Corban has a beautiful campus located on a hill. It has a focus and a drive for building community both on the campus and on the city, enabling students to study and share the truth about God. The faculty is devoted to shaping and encouraging students to grow and mature into capable men and women for f this generation.
M.
I am learning so much at Corban. All students here will graduate with a minor in Biblical Studies. I'm in my first semester here, and I'm already taking two Bible classes. I have grown up going to church and reading my Bible as far back as I can remember. Since starting at Corban, though, I've learned so much that I didn't know from all those years before. Somehow, the professors here seem to know how to give you the information you need and make it stick in your brain. For example, I've never done well in history, not matter how much I try to learn the same information. But here, I remember it so much better. The professors are amazing, and they make sure to get to know their students and care about them. There's also a great variety of classes.
Sarah from Albany, OR
Corban has a great Christian community, which bleeds through into every aspect of life. Professors are interested, not only in our academic success, but in seeing us grow as believers and as people. The community is welcoming and friendly, and no one is a stranger here.
Rachel from Auburn, WA
College is hard work. Lots of reading, and studying and more reading. But Corban's professors are amazing because, with the small class size, they actually get to know you, your name, and pray for you. They are concerned with their students doing well not only academically, but in life as well. Every Professor has an open door policy, meaning if they are in their office, come on in! I have found my professors to be easily accessible through email, meetings before and after class and personal meetings. Having your Professor care and make themselves available makes all the difference when it comes to academic success.
Rebecca
Corban University is the best. The community is great, the classes are great, and life is just great. The only downside is that it is very expensive.
Isaac from Lebanon, OR
Learning is so easy here at Corban. Professors usually have an open door policy and are willing to help you with a smile! Most class sizes are about 20 students and one on one is easy to find. Theres always study groups going on for almost any class because everyone is willing to help and study with whomever!
Danielle from Salem, OR
Excellent learning atmosphere. All professors are deeply involved in your learning. The small class sizes allow students to interact more completely in the classroom and the professors are very flexible and available to meet with students outside of class.
Cory from Jefferson, OR
Corban is a small school with incredible programs and professors. Some of these professors could be Ivy League level professors but instead choose to serve us here. If you come, every student graduates with a free minor in Biblical Studies as a part of the normal required curriculum.
