Jessica's Review

Review of Southern Adventist University

from Pioneer, TN

Describe your college in three sentences.

If you are looking for a small town college in a park-like setting; this is the place for you. Small class sizes lend to getting to know the students and the instructors! Emphasis on a personal relationship with Jesus is a plus for students who want to make Him a part of their life.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Plug into resources! Attend your worship services! Attend your classes! Study hard and get your assignments done quickly. Take advantage of the extracurricular activiities - they're fun and you get to know lots of people! I took a year off to be a student missionary in Africa! What an incredible experience!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

You definitely need to study but that would be at any school! Whatever your goals are - go out there an get here!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Love it! Now I'm an RA in a campus condo! Everyone is great here.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Excellent food if you're a vegetarian! I love the food here - it's delicious and affordable!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

I'm an officer in the cooking club! My friends and I love going hiking & camping and this summer I'm working at a youth camp where I am helping with adventure camp. We'll be repelling, white water rafting and caving to just name a few things.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I've been fortunate to be raised around mission minded people. I've been to at least a dozen different countries on mission trips lasting from 2 wks to about 11 months! When I graduate from college I hope to devote a large part of my time to mission work!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There's all kinds of hiking areas and a cool cave - if you don't mind getting a little dirty!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Vegetarians! Outdoors people! Christian students!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Cooking, Chem Club, Outdoor Adventures!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Top notch!
