Review of Maranatha Baptist University

from Conneaut, OH

Describe your college in three sentences.

I love this school!! Great faculty that works with you and is super friendly. Fantastic sports program and student body!!!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take a tour of the campus if possible, and stay in the dorms. It's an incredible experience!!!

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

Great variety of subjects to study and a fantastic faculty that helps you learn.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I wasn't sure at first how it would be living in a building with 30+ other girls because I've had my own room for 10+ years, but I love it!!! The fellowship and fun that we have. You develop such good friendship and become like sisters. Our dorm superisor is awesome!!! She seriously is like an older sister too. You can talk to her anytime. I just can't say enough good about it!! :)

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is fantastic!!!! I have friends that attend other colleges and they all say that the food at their colleges isn't that great. At Maranatha we have roticery chicken, a pizza buffet, salad buffet, friut, vege's, taco bar, sandwich station, dessert bar, plus different hot food for breakfast, lunch, and supper!!!

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

We have sports going on all the time, not only teams but also groups get together just to play for fun. There are dramatic production events each semester plus music events. Madison and Milwakee are an hour or less away, and there are stores and coffee shops within walking distance from the campus.

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

In my opinion Maranatha is work every penny!!!!! You can get scholarships from outside sources as well as school scholarships such as a work scholarship to help pay for college.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Each semester we have spirit week where they assign a different topic for each day that week and we can dress up like the topic. There are so many things that are awesome that we do that I can't even describe it.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Everybody!!!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have 5 different guy's societies and 5 girl's societies. Each society does different activities including helping in the community.

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

We have security that starts patroling the girls side of campus at around 6pm until 7am every night. They also check the buildings and periodically patrol the guys side. They are awesome!!! You become friends with them, and it definately makes you feel safe to know they are out there in any weather!!
