Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tip for prospective students would be to start looking at Maranatha's online classes before they even get to college. Maranatha offers many general education courses online that can help a high school student get ahead before they even get to college. The best part? Online courses for prospective high school students are at a 50% discount. If a prospective student starts early, they can save a lot of money over their college career.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes at Maranatha are at a level that a college education should be. Every class challenges you to learn, but the classes are never so rigorous that it is impossible to succeed. If a student does have problems keeping up academically, however, the teachers at Maranatha are more than willing to help their students and there is also a helpful tutoring program that is offered to students.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm Life at Maranatha is a very fun and encouraging environment. The dorms are set up so that there is a main leader for each dorm, floor, and even room. The leaders are there to not only get to know each person and spend fun times together, but also to be there if someone needs help spiritually, emotionally, or physically. Whether you are in need of some entertainment, an encouraging word, or a friend to walk you to the health center, you will always find what you need in the Maranatha dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
When students go off to college, often there is a joke about gaining the Freshman Fifteen, meaning that the freshman gain 15 pounds from the food at their school. At Maranatha, the joke is actually the Freshman 25 because their food is excellent. Every student who lives on campus is part of the meal plan which means that those students get 21 entries into the dining hall per one week. The dining is buffet style and the cooks continue to improve their food and dining room set-up every year.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
On-Campus at Maranatha, there is a lot of activities that students can be involved in for fun. Throughout the year, the Office of Student Activities puts on various events for the students to participate in. There are also a variety of sports events to watch including basketball, baseball, softball, wrestling, cross country, soccer, volley ball, and football to watch all throughout the year. There are also many recitals and plays throughout the year for students to attend.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
All around campus it is not uncommon to see security guards walking around, patrolling campus. At night, the security guards patrol around the ladies dorms and graciously walk women back to their dorms to provide safety and peace of mind. While they do not carry weapons on them, they are trained in how to handle a dangerous situation and are easily able to communicate with other guards on duty should trouble arise.
