If you want a Christ-centered curriculum, this is a great school. Since it is such a small school you get more help from the teachers. Also, it might sound somewhat strange but everyone is really nice to one another there.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
When I first started I didn't expect to take a lot of biblical classes. If you attend here, you are automatically graduating with a minor in biblical studies, so I think that's a plus. There will be A LOT of reading and writing, so learn how to prioritize. Your planner is your friend! You are also required to go to chapel.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I gave it four stars because of all the reading, both secular and sacred. You are required to do a lot of work, but if you manage your time it shouldn't be that big of a problem.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am an off-campus student, but I am adopted to a dorm. I am basically living there, and again everyone is super friendly. I think it's harder trying not to make friends than making friends. The dorms are not co-ed but every Sunday they do have open dorms for a few hours where the girls and guys can go into their halls. You can decide whether that's a positive or negative.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I am Hispanic so I think the food could be better, then again I am a picky eater. Sometimes they knock it out of the park, but other days you just make yourself a sandwich. The dinning commons is buffet style. My personal favorite is the abundant supply of ice-cream.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The school is located in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. Most students are from very small towns so coming to Omaha is a big deal to them. I grew up here so I don't see the big deal. But you could go downtime and slide down these HUGE slides. You go down really fast if you have wax paper with you. Also, there is Red Mango, frozen yogurt. There are many more things as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I actually am here on a scholarship so I don't pay for anything but I do believe you are getting your money's worth. The teachers do not waste their time. The only bad part is some of your general classes make you buy a book you won't use a lot so I recommend you rent them, or buy them used.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Each semester we have Day of Prayer, and Bible Conference. Basically, on Day of Prayer classes are canceled and the throughout the whole day there are different sessions you attend to go pray. You are required to go to at least 4 plus the main required session for the whole school. Bible Conference is for a whole week and is basically like Day of Prayer except they invite a special speaker.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
As I mentioned before, this school is great if you want to study with a world-view Christian perspective.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I just want to mention that I did attend a large high school with many different clubs, activities, and sports so I think they don't have a lot. They are planning on adding more things, but I honestly am not sure.

This doesn't exist here.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It is a small campus so everything is pretty close. There is campus security 24/7. Also, some of the male students rotate and walk the girls to their dorms or library at night. I personally don't feel any danger when I go at night, but I grew up in Omaha so I know where the dangerous areas are at.
