Did I learn a lot? Heck yes. My major was one of the top programs of its kind in the U.S. I researched it extensively before coming to E.N.C. and met with the professors before I applied. I was part of the Honors program, too. It was difficult, but I learned a lot, and it was worth it.
Did enjoy being here
Did I enjoy being here? Of course. Otherwise I wouldn't have gone to E.N.C. and I wouldn't have stayed if I didn't. It had an incredible academic reputation in my field especially, it offered better financial aid than the other schools I applied and was accepted to, it was where I wanted it to be (Boston!), and it had the kind of Christian background I wanted.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I wanted a full-tuition scholarship, and I didn't get it, but they offered me more financial aid than my other options. I had to take out some loans, since my family is really poor and couldn't help out, but it was totally worth it for the education and the experience.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take advantage of the opportunities you're given. My friends who worked hard did very, very, very well. My friends who slacked didn't. I feel like going to E.N.C. offered me more opportunities than some of my other options, but I had to take advantage of them to appreciate it. Also, it's not a party school -- it's less conservative than a lot of Christian schools, but more conservative than most secular colleges.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
History and literature majors (esp. prelaw), biology and chemistry majors (esp. premed), physics and mathematics, psychology and social work, business and education; Christians, and non-Christians who are okay with Christians; people who don't want to attend a party school because E.N.C. is not that...
