The professors at Point Loma are very loving and are willing to work with students individually if they are struggling. It's very possible for them to do this because there are so few students at Point Loma when compared to other universities. Each student is also assigned an academic advisor who helps with schedule planning and they do a great job of making sure students are learning at their highest capacity without overwhelming themselves. Furthermore, i feel that Point Loma is a very safe place to make the transition from living with parents or guardians to living on your own and making your own choices. There are plenty of ways to seek out advice and wise council on campus and you will learn a lot about yourself and the person you want to be while attending Point Loma.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Point Loma is neatly nestled on the beautiful Sunset Cliffs of San Diego. I have a wonderful ocean view from my room and can feel and smell the ocean breeze everyday. The community is also very tight knit. I live with 26 girls on one hall and we are all close, no cattiness. There are all kinds of opportunities to get involved on campus and I have made life long friends by taking advantage of these opportunities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Point Loma is not a cheap school by any means, but everyone I know at school has received generous amounts of financial aid. The student financial services are also easily accessible and available on campus and they are always willing to answer questions or help students find scholarships or other ways to pay for school. Furthermore, the education, friends and fun one gains by attending Point Loma are priceless.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the campus and set up an interview in which you plan to dress to impress. Also, actually read through Point Loma's covenant agreement which you have to sign in order to even apply to the school. It contains all of the school's policies about drinking/drugs, weapons, premarital sex on campus, class attendance, chapel attendance and student conduct in general. Read through it and make sure you are capable of and willing to play by the rules. Finally, don't go into college thinking that everything is going to be perfect and easy at Point Loma becuase it's a small Christian school, every school has it's flaws and has at least a handful of kids some refer to as bad seeds. The staff of Point Loma does their best to make the university fun, educational and enjoyable for all of their students so don't be too hard on them and remember to be thankful for all of the amazing things the school has to offer.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you like the idea of a small school with a close and loving community, take a close look at Point Loma. Also, if you love the beach, you can't go wrong. Finally, but most importantly, if you have a love for the Lord and want to be challenged in your relationship with Him, Point Loma is a great place for that and should be at the top of your list.
