I am a new Christian and I wanted to learn how to practice Christian views in a growing secular culture. In classes, I love that the teachers care about their students and integrate Christ into little lessons like grammar review. It makes class time more enjoyable.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I tend to be shy and not really outgoing. Cornerstone is the perfect size. It isn't too big and intimidating like other well-known colleges, yet it isn't too small that you don't get to meet a variety of people. There are lots of events and activities always going on, so I like that there is always ways to make new friends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although Cornerstone is a bit more than a public university, the financial aid office works really well with all student situations to make it possible to attend. I am paying my own way, so if it were not for the scholarships and help from the financial aid office, I would not be able to attend Cornerstone today. It is worth every dollar.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved and stay involved. It's as simple as that. You don't have to play sports and be in theater to be involved. Attend the sporting events, volunteer on campus, have an on-campus job, or even just leave your dorm room door open, so others know that you welcome company. This will help you meet more people and make classes more fun because you know others who are in class with you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I you like to be independent, but you still want the support of a family atmosphere then Cornerstone is perfect. There is enough room for me to make my own decisions, yet there is still some guidance to keep my Christ-focused.
