We are required to do core classes, and though many complain about it since they seem to not have anything to do with their major or minor, I have found that things I learn from them can actually have quite a bit of commonalities with my major or minor.
Also, a lot of the professors are nice to talk to, yet many are strict with you about getting your homework in on time. Some professors give you a leniency if you turn an assignment in late, taking a certain percentage off, though it varies with each professor.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have many friends, and since the campus is of a smaller size you either know everyone or know of everyone, which I really like.
There are plenty of activities, whether you are a commuter or a
live-on-campus student, and the library tries to accommodate each student. There are plenty of movies to watch for fun, and there are plenty of books, movies, and Cd's to use for research purposes. Can't find a book in the Warner book collection? Don't worry, use summit to ask for an item from a different school!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The amount of money may deter some people, and I have to admit, it deterred me, but the financial advisers help you work through it and you can take out loans and get scholarships from the school. Don't forget to check out the Match Your Church Grant and check out the scholarship binder at the financial aid office. Also, pay the interest and lower the principle while you are attending college so you can get a head start on paying the loans back!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would definitely check on touring the campus or spending the night at the campus (the latter should be done ahead of time). Always research a college, and don't forget, if the school doesn't have a major you want, you can always create a major. Just take your core classes if you can't decide on a major. Also, the food is pretty good, although after having it every day for two years, I started to get tired of it and wanting to make my own food. But still, it's pretty good.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Sports scholarship students, students who are actively pursuing a degree, and those who want to have a great school experience.
