The classes have proved engaging and intellectually challenging. Professors communicate well with students; tutors are available. Students work hard to earn good grades.
As a liberal arts college, Covenant requires several core classes. Professors do a good job of showing how each class applies to real life situations.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Hall life if phenomenal. The community within residence halls and buildings are extremely close-knit. Freshmen live alongside sophomores, seniors and juniors. There is almost always something going on, whether it's a sporting event, intramural game, hall-hosted dance, musical performance or building-wide study break.
Living on top of Lookout Mountain, you can feel isolated, especially if you do not have a car. Chattanooga is only fifteen minutes away and offers a plethora of interesting activities. Downtown has a lot of character and emphasizes the arts. Atlanta, Birmingham and Nashville are all two hours away, too.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Other colleges are less expensive and offer more options, but the education is worth the price.
Class sizes are small, allowing students to interact more with professors and with classmates.
Room and board includes an unlimited meal plan, which makes it more expensive. Housing options (student apartments, 4-man rooms, limited meal plan) help students who need financial assistance.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not neglect your studies and testing. Covenant does work with students if they do not quite meet the requirements, but they are very selective.
Visit the college. You get a feel for the community on and off campus, so a visit can convince you that Covenant is the college for you or that it isn't. Plus, the campus is gorgeous (it was a hotel in the 1920s).
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Christians, especially those with reformed views
-Those interested in missions or community development
-Those looking to have a lot of fun while upholding Covenant's Christian standards
