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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I absolutely love it here. At the beginning of this summer, I wasn't sure I would be able to afford to live on campus, or even attend at all. I'm so blessed to say that God provided everything down to the last penny. I love living in my dorm (go Aagard!) and all of the people I have met in the process. My RA is amazing, and so are my roommate and everyone else I've gotten to know in and out of my dorm. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be at another school (like OSU, where I almost had to go). I have made friendships here that I know will last for years to come, even after we graduate.
The campus is beautiful and peaceful, and I can feel God's presence on a daily basis. The size is perfect. It's big enough that you don't feel stuck in a small space all the time, but small enough that you can get to know most of the students.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The cost here is expensive, but so is the cost at basically every other school in the country. The financial aid here is great. I managed to get nearly two-thirds of my costs covered by scholarships and grants. If I remember correctly, I think Corban is a bit cheaper than most other private schools in Oregon. The value of education, spiritual growth, and relationships here is totally worth the money, though. Also, know that your tuition cost covers the cost of pretty much every major activity here, so make it worth your money and get involved! We have so many fun intramural sports - from volleyball and ultimate frisbee, to capture the flag and paint balling.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit! There are two weekend overnight visits each year (one in November and one in February or March), and there are individual campus tours almost daily. I would highly encourage you to come visit and see what our campus is like.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The most popular majors here are music, education, and ministry. We have a huge, amazing music program, so if you're interested in that, I would definitely recommend checking Corban out.
Our education and ministry programs are great too, and I know tons of people majoring in these.
Even the smaller programs are great too. I'm a journalism major, and I only know three other people on campus who are in the same program. But it's still a great, quality education.
