For someone that thought I knew a lot, it turns out I don't. There is a lot of information to take in and it can seem overwhelming sometimes but if you are a diligent worker and want to be challenged, you will make it through with no worries and at the same time have your mind blown away. It's not only head knowledge, there are some many opportunities to put into practice what you have learned! Word of Life's goal is to equip you for the christian life and they do a great job at it.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There are always the little things here and there that bother us but that will be at any college you attend. The great thing at Word of Life is that everyone is being challenged and working together.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Word of life gives many opportunities to get scholarships, grants, and just earn money to help with tuition. For what you get out of the year, the price is worth it. But be smart, look out for their different opportunities to earn bucks towards your tuition: Summer Training Core (STC), Summer Work Program, RA scholarships, Inn Work Program, Financial Aid...
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
You might be surprised at some rules they have here at Word of Life that you would probably not find at a secular college. But it's not big deal unless you make it one. Also be prepared to be stretched and tested physically and mentally. You will need a lot of energy for a year. When it comes to the workload, it varies but I strongly suggest that you work ahead especially during the fall semester as it is the semester you have the most homework. Always get a good start!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you want to know more about the Bible, what being a christian is really all about, want to dig deeper into the issue, Word of Life is the perfect place to be. I strongly recommend it not only people who just came to know Christ as their Savior, but also to those who are at a struggling point with their faith that doesn't seem to be their own any more (that is how I was).
