A Fantastic blend of excellent scenery, community, faith, facilities, and discovery. This college holds exploration of the self, and studies very highly while mixing in a deep seated, faith guided studies with moral and thorough self examination. The Facilities are top notch, with much available, and most of it being new or updated, but it does have some issues such as the upkeep time.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Always keep your keys and ID on your person, no matter where you are going.
Lock your door, and keep it that way, not for fear of the students, but out of the guests that may visit.
Constant, minor, upkeep is easier than one huge, labor intensive burst of cleaning.
Always keep checking on the status of any food brought into the room, you don't want it going bad!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
There is not so much a push on the work handed out, but rather in what is expected from the student, as the teachers expect that the student will do their best, and follow the assignments and study the notes, which is enough to pass. In addition there is always help available for the subjects, mitigated only by the amount of people seeking the same for themselves.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I personally love the dorm life, as it is an excellent way to meet new people, and many friends, as well as to learn new things and cultures from the newly met people. The only issue is how living with others creates more mess than what the cleaning crew can handle sometimes, but it is not too bad at all.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is great, as the offer a selection each day, and vegan meals as well, with desert bars and everything, and a cafe is open late at night for those who get a sudden urge. The drawback is the cycling of food, as it will steadily repeat for many specific meals, though those don't have to be chosen, as there is always something else to choose.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
On campus there is always something going on, such as sports (Even at three in the morning, I have played a game of ultimate Frisbee in the dark several times) clubs, study groups, movies, games, and parties.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The school is very much worth the money, with its only point of contention being the lack of a huge pool for culture blending, which can teach a person many important things for later life, as well as the slight repetition of food and activities.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a building (Purcell) that was built to be the meeting area for some activities, as well as the school's regular dance spot. There is also a large lounge with several arcade games and large TVs for entertainment.
There is an anti-aircraft gun on the campus in front of the seminary.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This is great for all types of student, with the only exception being the strictly art majors, who wish to do nothing else.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a huge selection of clubs and activities, with the option to create one at any time, so long as it is approved, which it generally is. The clubs are very fun, and the activities well thought out.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I don't have much knowledge on this aspect of the university.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
While there are a few issues, such as alcohol violations, the school feels safe, as public safety is always around, coupled with the location of camp David in close vicinity and it always seems very secure.
