The classes at Covenant are challenging in the best way. In my first year of college I was pushed to do things I could not imagine myself being able to accomplish, until I did. The professors are caring and extremely helpful as they push you to do your best. Teachers treat you as people, not simply as another brain on a stick. I have been inspired to continue my learning, not only in college, but for my entire life.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have met friends in my first year at Covenant that I will no doubt be in contact with twenty years down the road. The students are passionate about their faith and about having fun. There are people from all over the United States and around the world. This creates a perfect environment to learn from those different than yourself.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Covenant is expensive, there is no question about that, but it is phenomenal school as well. I have grown in my social relationships, walk with God, and of course in my scholarly work. I have been pushed to do things I never would have thought I could do and succeeded in them. Do not give up on Covenant because of the price. It is well worth it. See my tip below.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not look at the price tag of the college and write it off. The admissions staff is fantastic and works very hard to get you to Covenant without causing you to go irrevocably in debt. Also, apply for the large scholarships before December 1. These are the best opportunities to prove you are serious about attending Covenant. Even if you do not get one of these scholarships, most people I have talked with walked away with nearly as much in other forms of aid.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This college is great for students who want to have a clean yet amazing time while still working hard in the classroom. It is the best of both worlds. Covenant has the protection and standards of a Christian school (because it is one) yet has the easy going, fantastically hilarious side that is seen in dorm life and campus activities.
