Review of Eastern Mennonite University

from West Unity, OH

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The classes challenge me but are interesting. I am enjoying all of my classes and the professors are great! I feel smarter already!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

EMU is awesome! I don't think that I could have picked a better school for me. The size is great, the students are awesome, and the food in the cafeteria is actually good! There is a good relationship among the students here, it is really friendly. There is also a wide variety of people, so any one can find the type of people they want! I always feel safe and the dorms are really nice!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

EMU is a GREAT school, but it is also really expensive. I wouldn't change my choice of coming here though even though the cost is high! I am definitely getting the education I'm paying for! It is worth the money. I only rate it a 4 out of 5 because for most people in today's economy the tuition can be too high.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come and visit! You won't know what it is like unless you come and see it for yourself. It may be small, but there is always something to do. Also, the surrounding town (Harrisonburg) is a good size with a lot of restaurants if you feel like getting off of campus.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Eastern Mennonite University is perfect for those searching for a smaller school. It gives you a little more time with the professor if you need it. You are guaranteed a great education if you come here. A past alumni actually just won the Novel Peace Prize this year. That is pretty awesome! If you want a religious school then EMU is great, but they don't force it on you, which is great! Having religion pushed upon you can be really overwhelming and I have never felt that way here! EMU leaves the religion side of things more open to the students to do with what they wish. If you are looking for growing in your faith and getting closer to God, then you can definitely find it here!
