Maranatha Baptist Bible College is an incredibly rigorous in their academics. Their student life and atmosphere is entertaining and encouraging. The teachers at Maranatha are very personal and perform their duties with academic excellence.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Tip 1: Make sure you come with the mindset that it's only four years. There are some very annoying rules, granted, but for the quality of academic and biblical education you receive is well worth it.
Tip 2: Come to Maranatha with a willingness to learn. Be willing to learn not only academically but socially and spiritually! These qualities are essential in any college experience, but even more so when you bring God in to the picture.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academic rigor of Maranatha is impressive! Not a week goes by without a project, test, or group study to be done. This may seem overwhelming at first, but as you progress it becomes fun and you will realize the importance it has.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is pretty great at Maranatha. There is definitely room for improvement, such as a later dorm lock and more freedom, but every school will have things you do not necessarily like. Overall, though, the people and atmosphere of a dorm at Maranatha is an exciting experience you won't soon forget!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at Maranatha is astounding! They always have a salad, pizza, sandwich, and rotisserie bar for every meal. Also, a demo and rotation station changes daily. The only complaint I would have is that their spinach is sometimes very wilty--a sad situation really.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
This is an area of Maranatha where I can not give raving reviews. Really, the only things to do on campus are working out or being at the coffee shop. I will say, however, that there are movie theaters close by, bowling alleys, skating rinks, and parks all within 5 to 10 minutes of campus. There are also many restaurants with great deals especially on the weekends.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Overall, you get a very good experience for what the cost is. If I could make a suggestion to the college, it would only be to invest in some more things to do on campus. Those who do not have cars, or friends with cars, don't really get to do much.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
It's not really unusual, but I do find it awesome that Maranatha has it's own Facebook meme page. Everything funny that happens in the student body ends up on there, and it is indeed hilarious.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are a musical or sporty student, this is the Christian university for you. They have frequent fine arts activites available for attendance, and are also NCAA 3rd seed in basketball, voleyball, and soccer. Maranatha has also just recently added a men's volleyball team to their schedule!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
This is definitely an area for improvement at Maranatha. I give three stars because we do have societies, but rarely do they meet and have activities. They do have society sports that rotate through the semesters, but if you're not a sporty person you are out of luck.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I will be honest and say I have no idea what this means. I'm guessing we don't rank very high on it.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety at Maranatha is excellent! It helps that we are in a very small town with minimal crime rate, but we do take steps to prevent anything from happening on campus. As soon as dark settles in, security can be found at all major places and by the girls dorms.
