Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Though the teachers may not be Nobel Prize winners, all the teachers are still very knowledgeable; my teacher, whom I have for my political science classes, used to be an attorney. My other professors, whether for General Ed or for my major (Social Science), all are very involved in my life. They bring opportunities to me before I even ask them for any. They have truly helped my growth both as a student and as a Christian. They enjoy their job and excel at it; you have to try hard to not learn anything from this school. A fountain of knowledge is at your fingertips and the teachers care about trying to relate to you on a personal level.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The teachers are all very sweet and genuinely concerned about you and your life. The resources to grow in your faith here are clearly present and an encouraging atmosphere makes it fun rather than feeling like a duty. The other students are very welcoming; they treat you like family as soon as you're out of your car orientation day. The students help each other out to try to make sure no one gets left behind.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You're pretty much guaranteed some sort of scholarship when you come here. You have a 80 - 90% chance of getting full tuition and Room & Board isn't too much more to worry about. I missed a few scholarships because of how late I applied but if you apply early you have so much more scholarship availability than if you miss early registration.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Apply early; I have full tuition covered currently and I even missed the early registration date. You can probably almost get a full ride if you qualify for early registration. 2) Visit the school; there is an event called Genesis weekend and it is a lot of fun and will help you get a much better grasp of the nearly unbelievable school atmosphere. 3) Genuinely try and care about your studies while you're there; it's hard not to learn something while you're their but if you actually put effort into it there is a mind-boggling storehouse of information and experience to gain from.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There are many different types at this school; to come to this school requires a statement of faith, though certainly there are those here who are not truly Christian. With everyone wanting to be your friend and wanting to sit with you at lunch, it is difficult to avoid finding people you fit in with. I think anyone can fit in here but those who will truly thrive are the optimistic, outgoing, highly-motivated people who aren't afraid to ask questions and interract with the teachers yet also are okay with being swarmed with people every day.
