Because I am a freshman in college, I have to take a lot of classes I just took in high school, but the teachers do their job very well in explaining everything. In some of my classes, I don't feel like I'm learning, so when I go to take tests, I don't feel prepared until I actually take the test and realize that the professor did their job extremely well.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I came here knowing no one. Once I got here, everyone was super friendly because most of them were in my shoes. And it's still like this now that we're almost done with the first semester; everyone's still super friendly. And all the professors care about their students.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Because it is a private, small college, it is expensive to go to, but completely worth it. Most classes have less than 20 students, which means that the professors get to know their students very well. There are also no T.A.s. Every class is taught by a qualified professor. Which is what I feel is the most important. I came here to learn from the best, and that is what I'm given.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be intimidated by coming here. We often joke that this is the BYU of the east, except it's much smaller. Just be prepared to have someone there for you.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
LDS students that want to be around a lot of other LDS students. Also, students that like service and small class sizes. But most of all, students that want a good education, because this is going to be the most unique learning experience of your life.
