Review of Lincoln Christian University

from Kennebunk, ME

Describe your college in three sentences.

Lincoln Christian University is a place where students can be challenged in their spiritual lives and are encouraged along the way. Students are also required to participate in community service activities that are related to their degree which helps students get real world experience while completing their degree. Lincoln is welcoming and the student body is active.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

One of the toughest things that students face on campus is the Bible becoming more of a text book. Take your homework as an opportunity to worship God. Be very careful to balance your social life with your academic life. It is really important to have some fun so you don't burn out but not so much that you get bad grades.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The school work is challenging and a lot is expected of students but there is also a lot of help offered by the school like free tutoring. Students are expected to complete service learning and go to Chapel and Spiritual Formation Groups (SFG). It is difficult but rewarding.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I cannot speak of the Guys' Dorm but the Girls' Dorm is very nice. The third floor has a workout room and the second floor has a large study room. There is also a community TV/Lounge on every floor. The atmosphere of every floor differs due to the people who live there. My floor was pretty wacky last year. We all got along, hung out, encouraged each other and prayed for one another.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There is a large selection of food and if you come there will be people who tell you that some of the food is either a hit or miss day. There are some things that are really good or just not. The soup is usually really good and the variety is awesome. Be careful that you choose healthy choices most of the time. The Freshmen 15 sneaks up on you.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Usually people watch movies together or participate in Intramural sports. There are also the official school sports which you can do AND get the required credit you need for Gym. There is a 24 hour Walmart in town, rumor has it that people go there to play Hide-and-Seek.

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

If you are looking for a place to help you, encourage you and challenge you in your spiritual life this is the place to go.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are some sport available to play: soccer, basketball, baseball and volley ball. There are also Intramural sports which are sport that are just for fun.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

If by Greek Life you are looking for Houses to join and get drunk you should look else where. There is a covenant that all students are required to sign. Lincoln Christian University students are not allowed to drink until graduation. This does make it a lot easier to study in the Dorms though.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There is not much around and Lincoln, IL is a quiet town. There are some students who feel perfectly fine to walk around campus in the middle of the night alone.
