Nice and small. Christian oriented with a chapel and a small community. Offers different degrees where you can commute to other colleges for classes.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
*All Grand Rapids community college's courses for the MACRO program transfer for the Humane Services degree. Summer classes also transfer, and their classes transfer for other degrees as well!
*Visit there in person and talk to the enrollment and academic advisers; you can meet them in person and plan meetings where you actually get to talk to them in person! (This may sound corny, but when visiting other colleges and calling them, I often talked to machines and had MANY unanswered emails).
* If you got at least a 3 on an AP class exam, they accept the class as credit!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I have not attended classes yet, starting this fall (2013), so I cannot rate the academic rigor yet.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am not staying in a dorm, cannot rate.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I have not eaten there yet, but I have talked to a lot of people that it is great! They offer not only what food is made that day but also a salad and sandwich bar!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a gym, a entertainment area with a stage and fooze ball table.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Through AP courses and scholarships and grants, I'm only going to have to pay around $3,000 a semester, so I feel it is a bang for your buck!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
If you have classes before or after chapel times, you have to attend chapel (for me, this means every chapel available). It's nice, but I'm also not use to being told I MUST go to church or chapel, especially not every service available.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are Christian (or not, you'll still love the atmosphere!), anyone looking for a college to take classes and spiritual growth, anyone who loves small schools and is involved in the community. Looking for a pastoral degree, then this school is great, but they also offer other majors, such as education and humane services.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I don't think so.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I believe the campus is very safe, due to it's small atmosphere and the community.
