Covenant is a school where students are immersed in a Christ-centered community: faculty, staff, and students encourage one another to glorify Christ, to discover your personal calling, and to think critically and with a biblical perspective about contemporary culture. Covenant isn't just about work, however; there are tons of on- and off-campus student activities, Chattanooga is minutes away, and deep friendships are a joy.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be intimidated by the cost; Covenant tends to be generous with financial aid. You may get more scholarships and work-study aid than you expect.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes at Covenant stretch me every semester. My professors expect me to think and write well, and to integrate Christianity with what I'm learning. There is a lot of reading, but it's often interesting, unusual reading material.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Students want to be at Covenant, so they want to invest in the community. Covenant has a very close-knit community; students bond on their halls and at frequent on-campus social activities. The Resident Assistants on each hall are some of the most friendly and wise people I have met - they'll work hard to give you a great experience.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Covenant's dining is, well... improving. I personally enjoy the food in the main dining area: there is an all-day soup, sandwich, and salad bar, as well as pizza and eclectic options at every meal. On-campus students can only have the full meal plan, however, which is inconvenient if you have a crazy class schedule or don't like cafeteria food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many opportunities for fun: hall events (like date nights or hikes), trips to Chattanooga with friends, or activities on the mountain (caving and hiking, for example).
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Not every professor is an interesting teacher, but they all care about student success. Covenant requires that you work hard, but, if you apply yourself, you'll learn so much.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who are serious about growing in Christ; eager to learn; athletic, artsy, or from another culture; anyone who loves living on a mountain!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are lots of clubs available, and free/public activities almost every weekend.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is no Greek life at Covenant. The halls are very close and substitute for Greek life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Covenant has 24-hour surveillance and patrol. All the dorm buildings require an access card to enter. Covenant is located in a quiet, respectable neighborhood in a town with two policemen.
