The atmosphere at this school is so welcoming. The admissions counselors and everyone on campus is so friendly. It is small (extremely small almost the size of a high school but that just makes it more personable and easy to get around in) and close knit community.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the campus! There is an event called The Encounter that happens 3 times a year in Oct, Nov and Feb where you can stay on campus for two days sleep in the modules (that's what they call dorms), met professors firsthand sit in on classes, eat in the cafeteria, meet your admissions counselor.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes that I sat in on seemed to have very informed profeesors who paid attention to each students as a whole. The class sizes are small which means that you have more time to communicate with the professor than you might at a large public school.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Most modules are three to a room. The atmosphere and community you get from living on campus I think is a huge part of the college exxperience.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is so good! They have a great variety! There is even food for the health nuts out there.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school is expensive though for a private school it is a little on the low side - but if you compare it to a CSU or UC the sticker price is high but the school has so many scholarship opprotunities especially for students with high GPAs and test scores. They also have institutional aid that is specific for transfer students based on their academic performance.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
College hour is an experience that enlightens students whether they are christain or not.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who don't want to be in a class of a 100+ people.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
They have a round the clock security. It shouldn't be ignored that FPU is located in one of the worst parts of fresno but that has nothing to do with the campus community.
